This year's annual Club Giving Back event was to benefit Wounded Warriors Canada, a non-profit organization that helps Canadian Forces members – be they full time or reservists – who have been wounded or injured in their service to Canada.

At the Club gala dinner on May 9th and our annual golf tournament we raised over $71,000 for Wounded Warriors Canada. The cheque presentation was yesterday at a luncheon with Wounded Warrior organizers Scott Maxwell and Derrick Gleed. Wounded Warriors presented Past President Lee Fisher with a scroll of appreciation for herself as event chair as well as The National Club.

Through a wide range or programs and services, Wounded Warriors Canada helps find solutions where gaps have left Canadian soldiers in need. Their primary focus is on mental health and the impact of post-traumatic stress, but helps any veteran in need as they make the transition to civilian life.

Since the National Club began our Giving Back charitable project, we have raised and donated over $228,000 from our members and partners.
