20th Annual Charity Auction November 7th, 2007 at Delta Hotel
The Annual Charity Auction is our largest fund raising event of the year. Through the generosity of corporate sponsors, local businesses and long-time supporters we were able to contribute $35,000 to Camp Circle O’ Friends this past year. This money, together with the money raised from other organizations, is used to pay operational expenses for the camp or to purchase special needs equipment such as wheel chair ramps or supplies for medical aid rooms.

In addition our fund raising activities also benefit other organizations such as Special Olympics, inner-city school lunch programs, RGH Pediatric Outpatient Unit, Raise a Reader, Regina Therapeutic Riding, SCEP Centre, Wheelchair basketball sports and the Girl Guides of Canada.

Next summer Camp Circle O’ Friends will mark its 22nd year of operation, thanks to the support of our club and sponsors about 100 children, plus camp counselors and medical staff attend the camp on the western shores of Lake Diefenbaker in late June of each year.
