We would like to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to all of our sponsors, donors, volunteers and community partners who helped to make our programs and events a success this summer!
BIRDIES FOR BRIGHTER FUTURES
Thank you to the Truro Golf Club and the folks who participated in the Men’s Invitational for supporting our first Birdies for Brighter Futures. For every eagle or hole in one, $50 was donated to the United Way of Colchester thanks to the support of the following sponsors:

- Stanfield’s Ltd.

We look forward to bringing this event back in 2024! Reach out if you’d like to get involved.
