2010 Circle of Honour Philanthropy Awards
The 2010 “Circle of Honour Philanthropic Awards” gala at the North Simcoe Sports and Recreation Center was a huge success in recognizing individuals and organizations for their generosity. Our community is fortunate to have such outstanding examples of dedicated leadership and support for charitable organizations. These award recipients demonstrate the role and importance of charitable organizations in our community and facilitate an increase in the number of individuals who become active in their support.
“This enjoyable event was sold-out for the third year in a row. The evening was made possible thanks to the 27 volunteers, more than 30 sponsors and the five community partners who participated. It truly represents a collaborative effort by our charities to recognize leadership in giving back to the community.”- Garry Morehouse, Executive Director Huronia Communities Foundation.
