FOR RELEASE - September 10, 2024
MOUNT FOREST – The Wellington North community is gearing up for a day of curling, camaraderie, and charity at the second annual Mayor's Charity Bonspiel, taking place on Thursday, November 21, 2024, at the Mount Forest Curling Club.
This year’s event promises to bring together local businesses, community leaders, and residents for a day of friendly competition, all in support of local youth programs, groups and organizations. The event will feature two draws, with teams each playing two six-end games and enjoying a catered lunch prior to the awards. In addition to the curling, participants will have an opportunity to take part in the silent auction.
The event returns to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Township of Wellington North following a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, the event raised $4,500 for local youth causes. Organizers are hoping this year’s event exceeds that total.
There are multiples ways you can support this event: entering a four-person team, donating a silent auction item, or through event sponsorship.
“We’re thrilled to bring the community together for this event,” said Mayor Andy Lennox. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to have some fun while making a difference for our local youth. We encourage everyone to get involved, whether by forming a team, sponsoring, or simply coming out to cheer on the curlers.”
