A note from Susan Zikman-Wise Organizer of the 2nd Annual
Jump for Ooch at The Lake Joseph Club, Port Carling, Ontario
On behalf of the KRG Children's Charitable Foundation and Summer Water Sports (SWS), Steven and I wanted to thank everyone for a fantastic day. The 2nd Annual Jump for Ooch was a huge success. There were approximately 850 people who attended and over $25,000 was raised for the day!
Thanks to all our corporate sponsors, food donations and volunteers for a picture perfect day!
All money that was raised went to Camp Oochigeas, a camp for children with cancer!
Hats off to everyone!
Thanks again!
Warm Regards,
Steven and Susan Wise

On July 5, 2007, KRG Children's Charitable Foundation held their 18th Annual Golf Tournament. The tournament's title sponsor was Shiplake Management Company. This is the sixth consecutive year that the tournament has been held at King Valley Golf Club. Coupled with 18 holes at Canada's premier private golf club was the 'all-you-can-eat' lobsterfest dinner which has become a huge favourite among attendees.
Throughout the day on the course there were several contests. With prizes to be won for 'Longest Drive', 'Closest to the Pin', golfers had a lot of activities packed into their day. On the course you could get your picture taken with a Eurocopter AS-350 Helicopter, Tigris Models, or a Ferrari F430. The helicopter seemed to be the favourite among most golfers although some foursomes managed to fit more than one of these into their takehome photo.
For some, 18-holes of golf can be quite a workout. On the 15th Hole, OnCourse, a team of Registered Massage Therapists and Physiotherapy Technicians, provided 'Active Isolated Stretching' and massaged those golfers with aches or stretched targeted muscle groups that are specifically used in golf.
Dinner featured a spread of delectable appetizers, salads, roast-beef and of course - lobster. Line ups may have been long, but that didn't seem to deter everyone from having a permanent smile fixed to their face. ClubLink's Chef Layton made short work of lobster line-ups with his artful display of lobster preparations.
Live Auction, the draw , 'Crack-the-Safe' and Scratch Cards featured prizes like Cash, Golf Getaways, LCD TVs. Special guests for the day included Wendel Clark, Brad May, and John Derringer.
The Annual KRG Children's Charitable Foundation Gala was held at The Carlu on Thursday evening, February 8th, 2007.
Well over three hundred guests ate, drank, bid on fabulous silent auction items and enjoyed the very wacky and hilarious game show, "Let's Make A Deal". With introductions by former Toronto Blue Jay's Public Address Announcer, Murray Eldon the retro game-show got off to a fabulous start with Game Show Host John T. Ball (a not so close cousin to the original show host of the 60's and 70's, Monty Hall!). All contestants received great prizes and a standing ovation from our audience. But, most importantly, thousands of dollars were raised to help children in need.
See some photos of the evening! Send us an email for details on how you can join us at the next KRG Children's Charitable Foundation Gala, 2008.
In the meantime, get ready to golf! The annual KRG Children's Charitable Foundation Golf Tournament will be held on Thursday, July 5 at King Valley...Check back with us in early Spring.
Always lots going on at KRG Children's Charitable Foundation - and we'd love to have you join in the fun, the festivities and the fundraising!
