Dear Cathy,

Happy New Year!

We hope that you and your family enjoyed the holiday season. We wish you all a healthy and happy year ahead.

With a new year, comes new goals and resolutions. Our hope was to hit the $500,000 mark by year-end for the Governors program. We are proud to announce that this was achieved, and then some!

The Governors program extends to March 31, 2024. There are 3 months remaining for those of you who have not yet renewed your annual Governors commitment. Please renew as soon as possible to ensure your name will appear in the Governors brochure and on the board displayed at our Centre.

We cannot meet our goals alone, and greatly depend on the support of generous donors, like you.

We look forward to more success this year and making a greater difference in the lives of countless seniors in our community!

Thank you,

Here are some noteworthy fundraising achievements since we last sent out our newsletter on November 17, 2023.

We are proud to announce that we have raised $513,679 thus far and have achieved 97% of our total fundraising goal.

GOVERNORS UPDATE:

From November 18, 2023 - January 3, 2024, we had:

• 127 renewed Governors
• 9 new Governors
• 5 upgraded Governors
• 2 new Life Governors

Thank you to all those who have contributed thus far!

A charitable bequest under a Will is the easiest way to leave a lasting legacy.

A bequest can be as simple as a sentence or two naming the CJCS Foundation in your Will or adding a codicil to your existing Will. 

You can designate a specific dollar amount, a particular asset or a fixed percentage of your estate to our Foundation. 

The designated amount will be used to help our Centre where the need is greatest, or you can direct your bequest towards a particular purpose or program.
