$33k back to community so far from online bingo
Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club joined the Golden Rotary Club in their Rotary Community Online Bingo back in October 2020.
Each participating Rotary club receives a percentage of funds received from the bingo based on the number of cards sold. This is determined by the cards purchased and the club you choose to support.
Funds the clubs receive go back into your community through donations and projects.
Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary club has donated a total of $33,000 of the funds received to date to support the following organizations.
We started off our donations by joining with the Cranbrook Rotary Noon club to each donate $5,000 to East Kootenay Regional Hospital Foundry Project (Pictured above). These funds were matched so total donations was $20,000.
$10,000 towards the Key City Raise the Curtains.
$8,000 to the We Bike project, promoting safe cycling.
And $10,000 to the Cranbrook Archives, Museum and Landmark Foundation – Elko Train Project.
The Golden Rotary Club and its Partner Clubs, as part the one-year anniversary of the online bingo, donated $50,000 to Joe Anna’s House in Kelowna.
Joe Anna’s House provides much need accommodation for out-of-town families with loved ones needed care at Kelowna General.
