After the success of last year’s event, we will once again be running the Send a Kid to Camp AXE-Travaganza Fundraiser! Last year’s event brought 65 participants to the Peterborough Axe Club, where the incredible staff taught the players the fine art of “chucking steel”. In addition, 29 balloons were sold at the balloon pop and there were 17 items up for silent auction all donated by local businesses. With these, a generous pizza donation from East Side Mario’s, our incredible sponsors, and the donation of 50% of the night’s proceeds from the Axe Club, we raised over $10,000, enough to send 26 children to summer camp. This year’s event will once again be happening at the Peterborough Axe Club (280 Perry Street, Unit 1), on May 11th with a start time of 7:00 PM sharp! For details and tickets, contact Deb Aben, KHCF Executive Director at (705)-743-9751 x1317.
