For 2008, Mississauga Bassmasters is proud to continue with our club members' strong belief in helping out surrounding communities. Our focus this year is "The Weekend to End Breast Cancer". Barrie Junior Bassmasters was our 2007 funding raising recipient with a $100 donation towards helping youth in the Junior Bassmasters program. 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.
