FUNDRAISERS
Golf Tournament - a very successful fundraiser with proceeds going to upcoming events, including our Winner's Circle Summer Camp. The fabulous Griffiths – Wayne and Gabe – make this event possible and work year round putting it together. For the past 2 years, Scotiabank has matched the funds raised by the golf tournament, making this our most successful fundraising event. We love Wayne and Gabe Griffiths and we love Scotiabank.
REEACH Awards - a special evening honouring outstanding Educational Assistants who work with children who have autism. Please click on "REEACH Awards" on the side bar for a list of award recipients. This will now be a bi-annual event (every 2 years). The next REEACH Awards will be held in the fall of 2010.
