Fundraising Appeal
Because of the extra work required we are continually fundraising and looking at various opportunities. One opportunity we would like you to consider, as a friend of the Cookstown Curling Club, is a tax deductible donation to the Canadian Curling Association. Your donation will be redirected to the Cookstown Curling Club through this charitable fund and in turn you will be given a charitable tax receipt. Depending on the size of your donation, and if over $200, you could conceivably get 40% returned to you on your tax return. Check with your financial agent for further details. This way, you can help yourself and the Cookstown Curling Club – we all win!
