Poppy Fund
Thank you to everyone who came out to play golf on November 10 & 11! $10 from every green fee paid we donated $2540 for the Poppy Fund. Pictured left Matt Sutherland, Jill Presley, Tanya MacNeill & Ken Harvey.
For years, you’ve generously donated and proudly wore your poppies to show you remember. Did you ever wonder where the money goes? Although the annual poppy campaign only lasts for a couple of weeks each fall, poppy funds are hard at work all year long.
Here are a few examples of your poppy donations at work:
-Assisting any person (and their dependents) who is serving (or who has honourably served) in the Canadian Forces and are in need of assistance.
-Legion Veterans Transition Program (at UBC): a relief & recovery program for trauma-related stress from military service.
-Housing for homeless veterans, such as Cockrell House in Victoria
Disaster relief when declared by governments.
George Derby Veterans Home
-Community medical equipment and research
-Meals-on-wheels
