Donors' Corner

May

This month, we gratefully received a sizeable anonymous donation, a donation from Crystal LaLone in memory of Mike Brown, and a donation from U11 Muskoka Rock Rep hockey team in honour of all the great coaches (great job guys!).
 
Thanks goes out to Think Muskoka Inc., Helen Holstock, Marvin Greer who kindly remembered the CFM in his will, and both the Amazin' Greys and Silver Slicers who remembered Muskoka kids in their annual tournaments. Thanks to all those who donated to the CFM in May - as applications pour in for both summer sports and recreation programs  and camp, it makes a huge difference!

March

This month, our community lost a youth sports advocate and friend of the CFM with the passing of Lee Bruckner.  An overwhelming number of donations were made in memory of Lee to the Children's Foundation to ensure more kids would continue to have access to the things she held dear to her heart.  Lee's family feels a sense of warmth in knowing that their Mom is continuing to help a cause she believed in.  Thank you to Val and Geordie Newlands, Leslie McCullum, Darlene Banks, Roxanne James, Trevor Carl, Pauline Perreault, Teresa Overbeek, Donna Ferris, Tammy Fenn, Andrea McDermott, Kenneth Price, Colin Winter, Julia Taylor, Sue Barbour, Sheila Batt, Cheryl Manson, Deb Wolfe, Dwayne Evelyn, Ed Gouweloos, and Mary McCanell for your donations in memory of Lee.
 
Thanks goes out as well this month to Karen Martindale, Whiteseason, The Goodwin Family Fund and monthly donor, ProActive Rehab for your donations this month.
