$100,000.00 (MSRP) for Winnipeg Harvest 5-Ton Truck
Address:
1085 Winnipeg Avenue
Winnipeg MB
R3E 0S2
|
|
|
|
The Kinsmen Club of Winnipeg, using funds from Kinsmen Jackpot Bingo, have purchased a brand new 5-ton truck for Winnipeg Harvest. This truck will be used for the pickup and delivery of large quantities of food throughout Winnipeg.
The truck was purchased from Vickar Community Chevrolet, and will be delivered to Winnipeg Harvest in the next few days. Vickar Community Chevrolet has also aided in offsetting some of the cost of the truck, which can retail for as high as $100,000.00 from many suppliers.
Winnipeg Harvest is a non-profit, community-based organization. It is committed to providing food to people who struggle to feed themselves and their families. It is also committed to maximizing public awareness of hunger while working towards long-term solutions to hunger and poverty.
Special thanks to Kinsmen member Terry Genik for the numerous hours of research and discussion involved in bringing forward this service request.

$ 5,000.00 to PGI Golf Tournament for Literacy Partners of Manitoba
Address:
101-1555 St. James Street
Winnipeg,MB
R3H 1B5
|
|
|

The Kinsmen Club of Winnipeg has donated $5000.00 towards the 15th Annual Peter Gzowski Invitational (PGI) Golf Tournament for Literacy. We will also have 4 members taking part in the tournament, as well as having other members volunteer at the event. The event will take place on Monday, June 13th 2005 at the Elmhurst Golf and Country Club. (10:30am Registration, 12:30pm Tee-off)
At least one in six adult Manitobans has severe difficulty using written materials to perform routine tasks. Another one in six has moderate difficulty. Low literacy costs Canadian society approximately $10.7 billion annually, with Manitoba's share of this cost adding up to over $375 million each year.
The late broadcaster Peter Gzowski founded the PGIs in 1986. To date they’ve raised more than $7 million for adult learners, including more than $240,000 in Manitoba. The funds raised support the LEARN line, learner bursaries and Literacy Partners of Manitoba lending library.

Great Strides Walk for Cystic Fibrosis
Address:
2221 Yonge Street, Suite 601
Toronto, ON
M4S 2B4
|
|
|
|
The Kinsmen Club of Winnipeg will be volunteering at the Great Strides Walk for Cystic Fibrosis. We will also be providing several raffle draw prizes, including a beautiful Stainless Steel BBQ valued at approximately $1000.
Since 1986, Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CCFF) chapter members have teamed up with community partners, to participate in an annual family-oriented walk campaign, to raise funds in support of the fight against cystic fibrosis.
The Great Strides™ walk, held on the last Sunday of May, is the CCFF's Canada-wide, group fundraising event. All money raised through pledges and donations will be used by the CCFF to fund CF research and treatment programs at over 38 Canadian CF clinics, five transplant centres.
The CCFF is pleased to bring the Great Strides™ campaign to Canada, through our friendship with the United States Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF), which manages over 550 Great Strides™ events in the U.S., annually. Over the years, such walk events have proven to be the perfect opportunity for local supporters to make a difference in the lives of those living with cystic fibrosis.
Please join us on Sunday, May 29, 2005, as thousands of Canadians walk with their family members, friends, neighbours and colleagues during a fun-filled day.
Together, we are taking steps to cure cystic fibrosis.
