We’re still counting the total amount collected, but our Club participated once again in the Salvation Army's Christmas Kettle, gathering donations for this iconic and wonderful cause. We pulled out all the stops to spread Christmas cheer and compete with our friends at the New Westminster Rotary club. Stay tuned for the final results!

In partnership with the New Westminster Rotary Club, we were thrilled to present Captain Alfred Esdaille of the New Westminster Salvation Army and the Merrilyn Cook of the Purpose Society, with this cheque for $29,452! Funds also went to the 2 Rotary Clubs of New Westminster to assist them in their charitable endeavors.These funds were raised through our 2021 Rotary Pot of Gold Charity Golf Tournament, which was generously sponsored by Cassady & Co. The wonderful Dorie Anne Leggett, a Partner at Cassady & Co was in attendance to help us hold the giant cheque!

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED in the 25th Annual Rotary Pot of Gold Charity Golf Tournament! The tournament raised approximately $30,000 this year from the generosity of our sponsors, donors, and golfers. Since the first Pot of Gold tournament in 1996, we have raised $600,000 for charity. Proceeds will be used by the two Rotary Clubs to fund youth programs in our community (RYLA, Youth Exchange, bursaries and Adventure programs). Partial proceeds are also donated to Salvation Army (New Westminster) and Lower Mainland Purpose School, a specialized school for students who face challenges in the public school system.
