This Christmas marks the 24th year that Delta Bingo and Gaming Charities, Sudbury Charities Foundation and ACT/UCT (United Commercial Travelers of America) Sudbury have teamed up to donate turkeys to Greater Sudbury families.
The campaign, which represents approximately $250,000 in donations, was started by Bingo One/Delta Bingo and Gaming Founder Ray Loiselle in 1996.
Loiselle and Delta’s member charities partnered with Sudbury Charities Foundation and ACT/UCT Sudbury to bring turkeys to the dinner table for 1,200 families at Christmas.
With recent demand increasing, Club Richelieu de Sudbury recently jumped on board to provide extra funding to support this important initiative.
“It’s campaigns like this one that help make the holidays brighter for families in Greater Sudbury,” said Richard Schwar, charity association co-ordinator.
“We are honoured to continue the legacy that Ray Loiselle had started many years ago and bring the spirit of Christmas to the community.”
Revenues raised through gaming at Delta Bingo and Gaming Sudbury, by Sudbury Charities Foundation, ACT/UCT Sudbury and Club Richelieu Sudbury ensure this program continues each year.
