Thank you all for participating in Curling for Equity: The Olive Branch for Children’s 2023 Curling Bonspiel on November 18 at the Trisan Centre in Schomberg, Ontario, Canada. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and to also welcome new curlers this year. We were especially happy that TOBFC founder Deborah McCracken-Nangereke was able to join us.

 

Many thanks to everyone who kindly donated items for the silent auction, the wonderful women who worked tirelessly in the kitchen, the cheerful bartenders, the ice crew, and the drawmaster who arranged all the games. Together, you made the day not only possible, but also lots of fun and a great success.

 

Your entry fees, silent auction purchases and donations raised an incredible CAN $20,255 for The Olive Branch for Children. These funds will be dedicated to TOBFC programs that support vulnerable women and children in Tanzania, including menstrual equity.

 

Thank you again for your support and hope to see you all next year!
