“This is one of the largest contributions that Cystic Fibrosis Canada has received in the history of our nearly 60-year partnership with Kin Canada,” said Jeff Beach, Chief, Corporate Services and Strategic Initiatives, Cystic Fibrosis Canada. “We are so proud to call Kin Canada our partner. The resolve and dedication of Kin members never ceases to amaze me, and we are honoured to be partners for life.”
“The Kin Club of Russell has done an outstanding job with the Catch the Ace Lottery,” said Lisa Burechails, Chair of the Kin-CF Liaison Committee. “Funds raised from this project will support six causes that are important to the community and has created an incredible legacy for the Kin Club of Russell.”
Over the course of the partnership, Kin Canada has raised and donated a total of $50 million to Cystic Fibrosis Canada since 1964.
On behalf of all those with cystic fibrosis (CF), we warmly thank the Kin Club of Russell, who have outdone themselves with this incredible event, as well as the many people in the community and across Ontario who purchased tickets. As a result of your generosity, those with CF can hope to live longer, healthier lives.
