Why does CW hold the fundraiser dinner?

As a single event, this is CW’s most important source of funds. Without the dinner, dues for our 500+ player members would increase by more than 100%. We believe keeping dues reasonable helps keep the game broadly accessible. The gala allows community connections to be forged and rekindled, in a way that few other CW events do.

For special seating needs or to donate a ticket, advise the organizers at senior.men@cwrugby.com .

If you have an item for the auction, please contact lindy.vanalstine@smus.ca ( The 'Sky's The Limit', with the variety of donations we welcome).

This is a special night, we do hope you can join us!
