Raising Funds for the Ukrainian Community
Kitchener Rotary and Pickleball of Wellington Waterloo Region recently partnered to host a pickleball tournament in Kitchener. The event was raising funds for the Kitchener Rotary Ukraine Committee who are dedicated to assisting Ukrainian families and children who have relocated to our area.
The pickleball players enjoyed the tournament and our Ukrainian friends ran a fun fair with activities for children and a range of Ukrainian items for sale. The committee also launched their 2024 fundraising calendar at the event. With heartfelt images and stories from children living in Ukraine, the calendar provides a meaningful way to support the efforts of the committee. Proceeds from the calendar are being used to purchase books for the KW Saturday Ukrainian school program – contact info@kitchenerrotary.ca for more information.
