Charitable Initiatives
For the last 15 years Mississauga Bassmasters has raised money and food donations for charities in Southern Ontario including Foodpath Peel, Interim Place, and the Mississauga Credit Valley Hospital. Barrie Junior Bassmasters was our 2007 & 2009 funding raising recipient with a $100 donation towards helping youth in the Junior Bassmasters program. For 2008, Mississauga Bassmasters is proud to continue with our club members' strong belief in helping out surrounding communities. Our focus that year was "The Weekend to End Breast Cancer". In December 2005, special prizes were donated by Johnson Outdoors Canada Inc. and Matzuo America for a fund raising draw. A total of $550.00 was raised for the Mississauga Credit Valley Hospital Foundation, Paediatric Unit. Thanks to you, our club was able to present the cheque to Suzanne Hallsworth, Development Manager, Communications for the Credit Valley Hospital Foundation. Also in attendance at the gift presentation on March 6, 2006 was Tina Triano, Vice President of the Credit Valley Hospital Foundation.
