The Rotary Club of Brantford-Sunrise is pleased to report the success of their first annual Online Auction. With 376 participants and over 275 donated items, the club surpassed their goal of $25,000. Although details of the final amount have not been finalized, proceeds from the auction will go towards assisting the Paediatric Acute Referral Service at the Brantford General Hospital.
The club is now in the process of confirming a date for their upcoming event, Ribs-to-Go. Originally slated for April, the event was postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions.
