The Kinsmen Club of Peterborough have been supporting the kids at Five Counties
since 1977. Their donations total more than $43,000. They continue to support the needs of Five Counties with a recent donation of $2,500.

Derek Vandenberg-president and Dave Adams-executive director of the Five
Counties Children's Centre Foundation.

This donation, along with other fundraising efforts this year, will assist Five Counties
in continuing therapy for 450 children who rely 100% on donations to pay for their therapy.

Each year more than 5,000 children receive services at Five Counties and unfortunately
there are more than 800 children on the waiting list.

A BIG Heart

September 15, 2011

Peter Blodgett, President of Darling Insurance presents a cheque to Dave Adams, Executive Director of the Five Counties Children's Centre Foundation for $15,000. Half of these proceeds will be going to Five Counties and half to ALS. 

Each year Peter and his staff at Darling Insurance organize a golf tournament at the Peterborough Golf and Country Club. This year more than 120 people participated in the golf and then shelled out additional funds at dinner with the purchase of raffle tickets and a live auction.

Over the years Peter has raised in excess of $125,000 for Five Counties which
has assisted Five Counties in providing therapy to children to help them
learn how to walk...talk...and laugh.

With more than 800 children still waiting for services Five Counties is very
appreciative to be the recipient of funds raised by Peter and Darling Insurance. 

THANK YOU Peter and the staff at Darling Insurance!
