Community Support
This year, The Club has donated more than $6,000.00 to The Brockville and Area YMCA.
These funds were to enable children to be able to enjoy after school programs and Friday Night Teen Programs. Summer camps were not held this year due to COVID-19, but we will look forward to next summer with great camp activities as seen below.
In 2019-2020 we helped support the following organizations:
Brockville and Area YMCA | Brockville & District Hospital Foundation |
Palliative Care | Get A Grip |
Brockville & Area Food Bank | Athens Food Bank |
Bartholomew St. Community Hub | Food for All Food Bank |
Loaves and Fishes | CPHC |
School Nutrition Programs | Brockville Music Festival |
Brockville Library | Bursaries for local high schools |
New Year's Eve Concerts | Girls Guides of Canada - Pathfinders and Rangers |
Society of St. Vincent de Paul | Brockville Special Olympics |
Brockville Walls Project | Brockville Community Choir |
Brockville and Area Food Bank
On behalf of the Brockville and Area Food Bank, we would like to extend our gratitude for your organizations donation to our program. It will help exponentially toward the fresh items that we get to provide for the patrons of the food bank, specifically our fresh milk program. We believe highly in providing fresh, healthy foods to the people that we serve and this would not be accomplished without community donations and support such as yourselves.
New Years Eve Concert Committee
Each year the New Years Eve Committee arrange a series of concerts in Brockville's downtown historic churches between 6 pm and midnight. This year we have 13 concerts in six churches with music ranging from country to jazz to pop. All the performers volunteer their services as do the committee members and the churches provide the use of their sanctuaries for the concerts free of charge. There is no admission to the concerts; a freewill offering is taken with the proceeds going to a charity that is chosen by the church. Over the past 27 years, these concerts have raised over $150,000 for local charities..
Our only expense is printing posters, bookmarks and brochures to promote the concerts. The brochure includes a full listing of the concerts describing the type of music, the names of the musicians, the location and the time. Donors, such as May Court Club, provide the funding for these materials which typically cost under $1,000. This is the 28th season of these concerts which many now look forward to as a regular part of the celebrations. We are most appreciative of the support of the May Court Club and look forward to seeing many of its hardworking volunteers at our concerts!
We also supported medical and dental requests from social services agencies on behalf of individuals in special need.
Requests for funds are considered by the membership three times annually at general meetings held in October, January, and April. Applications must be submitted by the 20th of the prior month.
