Tony Howard Memorial Park Virtual Auction

 

Bidding Opens: Nov 12th at 9 am

Bidding Closes: Nov 14th at 3 pm

 
Over the past several years, Tony Howard has made it his mission to raise funds to build wells in northern and central Ghana. He's been able to build wells and provide access to clean water thanks to the support of the community who have participated in various fundraisers such as the Annual Fish Fry Event and through his personal donations.
 
This was a cause that was very near and dear to Tony's heart and is the ethos of what it means to be a Rotarian.
 
Unfortunately, Tony, the late husband of our member Karen past away in December 2020. In honour of Karen's late husband, she is spearheading a virtual auction to support the purchase of shoes and hates for Children in Ghana.
 
Your participation in this auction will honour the life and legacy of Tony and make a significant impact for the children of Ghana.
