Thank You for Your Support

Our members extend a sincere "Thank You!" to everyone who supported our 2014 'Mums for Thanksgiving campaign.

 It is because of the support we receive from our community that we are able to give back to it. This project was started in 1989 toward the end of the year following the chartering of the Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise. Among the Club's first projects were annual contributions to palliative care at both hospitals (when we had two) and a day-away event for seniors which is still an annual event. 

 

As times changed, the Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise contributed $50,000 to CareFor to help establish a hospice in Cornwall and $50,000 to the Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation.

 

Some of the other community projects that have benefited:-

The Aquatic Centre        $50,000 

Children's Playground Equipment at Lamoureux Park      $40,000

Boys and Girls Club (start-up funds)       $25,000

Benson Centre  (3 + 1 arena complex)    $50,000

Cornwall Community Hospital (MRI campaign)    $10,000

 

Both the Children's Christmas Fund and Agape receive ongoing support as do a number of other local charities and organizations.  

Over the years, the Agape Centre has benefited monthly through the preparation and serving of a monthly Agape luncheon by Rotarians as well as the contribution of funds for the snowsuit fund and equipment upgrades. Over the years our Club has been proud to regularly support several youth programs as well as an assortment of smaller endeavours 

 

Internationally, the Rotary Club of Cornwall Sunrise is committed to assisting in humanitarian programs such as eradicating polio; restoring eyesight through cataract surgeries; making clean water available to those who do not have access to it; supporting literacy and general maternal and child care projects and assisting in the elimination of Buruli Ulcer, a flesh-eating disease related to leprosy.
