Invitational Charity Croquet Match
August 14, 2007

Empowering Young People with Diabetes

Together, we raised $ 22,650.00
 toward 'Campership for Diabetes Children's Camp', a subsidy program for underprivileged children to attend Camp Kakhamela, Gibsons, BC.

Success is based on performing to meet or exceed one’s
expectations – and we exceeded our expectations again this year.  
Thanks to all of you, our total donation to Canadian Diabetes Association
over the last 7 years surpasses
$82,000.00!!

The success of our event, which is held every summer, is due to the generous donations and sponsorships received from invited guests and the business community, as well as the popular
live auction which takes place after the croquet match.
