The Rotary Club of Fonthill recently continued its commitment to investing in worthy local organizations by presenting donations to two local charities, the Niagara Sexual Assault Centre and Hospice Niagara.
 
Tricia Cosgrove, Community Outreach/Fundraising Manager for the Niagara Sexual Assault Centre was guest speaker at our club meeting on Jan 22, 2025 and was presented with a cheque for $1,250.  The funds will support the Centre in delivering the Child Assault Prevention Program (CAP), which has been developed for children in grades 3 through 6 (level 1) and for grades 7 & 8 (level 2).
 
Another presentation is planned when Carol Nagy speaks to the club regarding the work of Hospice Niagara at our Feb 12, 2025 meeting.  Hospice Niagara is opening a second location in southern Niagara, so funding in the amount of $1,000 from RC of Fonthill will go towards purchasing the equipment, furnishings and all the comforts of home people and families need to make them feel welcome, comfortable and safe.
 
The club holds fundraisers throughout the year to enable community donations.  Details on these twice annual funding awards can be found here:
