What an incredible way to kick off the month!
Our annual Send a Kid to Camp AXE-travaganza was another huge success, raising over $30,000 to help send children involved with the Kawartha-Haliburton Children’s Aid Society to summer camp this year.
This event would not be possible without the amazing support of our community. First and foremost, thank you to everyone who purchased tickets, came out for a night of axe throwing fun, and supported our silent auction. Your support will help create meaningful summer experiences for local children.
A very special thank you to our event sponsors: Herod Financial Services - Manulife Wealth Incorporated, Kawartha Oral and Maxofacial Surgery, AON Inc. Residential & Commercial, Kawartha Gymnastics, Camp Kawartha, BALL Real Estate Inc., Brokerage, Bryans Heating & Air Ltd., CO2 Solutions, Terra Firm Construction, Paris Marine, Harco Supply, Savage Arms, Kawartha Orthodontics and PHOTO BOOTH FUN. Your generosity helps make this event possible year after year.
Thank you as well to our food sponsors for keeping everyone well fed with delicious treats throughout the evening: Hard Winter Bakery, That’s a Wrap Catering, Chemong Rd Dominos, SKH Events & Catering, and Shelby’s.
We were also blown away by the generosity of the many local businesses and individuals who donated silent auction items. Thank you for supporting our mission and helping us raise even more funds for camp.
And of course, a huge thank you to Carlo and the incredible team at the Ptbo Axe Club for hosting another fantastic event and keeping the competition lively all night long.
Together, we are helping ensure more children can experience the joy, friendships, confidence, and memories that summer camp provides.
If you missed the event but would still like to support our summer camp program, donations can still be made here: https://www.khcas.on.ca/foundation/khcf/what-we-do/summer-camp-fund/.
