In the ensuing thirteen years, our Foundation has compiled an impressive resume of accomplishments. Thanks to the generosity of our members, the many contributors to our annual fundraising auctions (and the enthusiastic bidders), and our awesome dedicated volunteers, we have been able to make significant contributions totalling more than $350,000 to local beneficiaries including: Community Centres, Halls, Parks and Recreation Facilities and Museums owned by Norfolk County; the Norfolk General Hospital Foundation; SCS Sabres “Rising from the Ashes”; Gifts to other area Non-profit Organizations; Scholarships and various other Youth programs; and numerous other Miscellaneous Community Improvements. We thank the entire community for its support! • On a number of its special projects, The Foundation has forged partnerships with dedicated service organizations in the Vittoria area.
