The Rotary Club of Welland is the first district club to donate to GOL for the 2025-26 Rotary year. Pictured: Cathy Henry, Co-President for Canadian clubs, receiving a check for $500 from Raymond Tisi, club president. Gift of Life continues its mission of providing cardiac surgery for children born with congenital heart problems in underserved areas of the world. This effort includes pre- and post-surgical intervention for those children who are destined to die without it. Nutritional and educational interventions are included as well as the actual surgical intervention required.All 7090 District clubs are encouraged to make the best donations they can. Some clubs have even held events to support GOL. These events have been successful thus far, and we have been able to meet our annual donation goals. Our goal each year is to raise at least $5000 on each side of the border. If each club in the district could donate a minimum of $100, we should be able to reach this goal. The more we raise, the more children we are able to save . For questions, donations, or to schedule a presentation to a club, please contact: Cathy Henry (Canada) at dhenry1@cogego.com or Pat Castiglia (U.S.) at ptcas34@hotmail.com.
