On Saturday, November 18, 2023, CLH Foundation returned to the ice to host its 2nd annual “Bonspiel Bonanza”!
With help from members of the Midland Curling Club and the Midland Civitan Club, Bonspiel Bonanza was a fun-filled day of high spirits that celebrated community and helped to build awareness of the work of CLH Developmental Support Services – an organization which has served people with developmental disabilities for more than 60 years.
And in thrilling and dramatic fashion, the 2nd annual event was decided in a one-shot, winner-take-all playoff!
Supporting CLHF’s Commitment to Care initiative, the event raised over $10,500! These important funds will be directed to help cover the cost of essential and critically needed (but unfunded) medical and personal health essentials on behalf of adults who live in CLH’s Supported Living Homes. CLH DSS is unique in its commitment to this practice, and in the face of ever-rising prices and changes in funding, CLH Foundation has taken responsibility for ensuring it continues.
