Philanthropy


The AWCO encourages participation in service to the community, both civic and philanthropic.

Charitable Donations

Each year our Service Chair along with a committee researches local charities for end-of-year disbursements, donating to non-sectarian organizations and charities serving Halton and Peel for specific purchases/purposes. The Club does not contribute to large national campaign, i.e. March of Dimes. Members at the General Meeting approve annual charitable donations before disbursements are made.

Our Ways and Means Chair approves annual fund-raising activities and coordinates philanthropic activities in our local communities. The AWCO holds monthly drives to benefit local charities with donations of various goods collected at our General Meetings. Over the past 6 years the AWCO has made various donations to over 30 organizations including:

OTMH Charitable Pledge

In May of 2012 the AWCO fulfilled our charitable pledge in the amount of $25,000.00 to the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH). Since 2008 the AWCO had been raising funds to go towards the purchase of medical equipment for the new hospital. To recognize the  club for fulfilling this pledge, the Oakville Hospital Foundation will be naming the Special Care Nursery Quiet Room at the new hospital in honour of the AWCO (see press release).
