Avonmore Playground Fundraising
Thank you to all who have donated or mentioned you would consider donating, and took our "Donate to Play" donation form.
The "Donate to Play" fundraising campaign enables the Avonmore Park Committee to apply for a dollar matching Community Spirit grant. This means that a $50 donation doubles in value to $100! If you are considering donating, please do not delay – every dollar raised through the "Donate to Play" campaign will count towards this strategic grant!
