Rotary Clubs of Essex County Present $50K to Erie Shores Hospice

Clubs from Leamington, Cottam, Essex, Harrow, and Amherstburg celebrated the fulfillment of their $50,000 commitment to Erie Shores Hospice on November 18 with a Biker Party and cheque presentation at the Roma Club of Leamington. 
 

It was a great dinner celebration that has taken four years of hard work and fundraising for Rotary volunteers of the five local clubs, along with others across Rotary District 6400. A real effort in teamwork.
 

Major fundraisers over the last four years included the delicious Rotary FishFry, Trivia Nights and various cooking events to name a few. 
 

The Rotary FishFry in association with the Hogs for Hospice weekend has been a great contributor to the fundraising success. 
 

Many of the Hogs for Hospice committee members attended the dinner event as well.

Thanks to everyone who supported the Area 9 Rotary Clubs to help meet their goal and support area communities who use the Hospice Facility for family, friends and loved ones. 
 

The cheque was presented to the Erie Shores Health Foundation, which is responsible for fundraising for the local hospital and hospice.
