Representatives Phillip Tremblay, Dejan Matijevic, Corey Reeves, Chelsea Paterson and Alif Tabit from the Windsor Inter-professional Health Council pay a visit to JMCC to tour the Centre and make a donation from a recent fundraising initiative. The Windsor Inter-professional Health Council provides an opportunity for students in health-related disciplines to learn together and from each other. It allows students to explore how their education & careers intersect with other professions and how to maximize their inter-professional relationships to achieve high quality patient care. JMCC thanks the students for their dedictation to the Centre!

ACC has received a significant donation of $14,000.00 from the Sertoma Foundation of Canada.
 
The Sertoma Club supports many of our clients. They have provided funding assistance for lease payments of their communication devices as well as funding assistance for purchases of communication devices including accessible phones that are not covered under the Assistive Devices Program.  Their foundation provides annual donations to agencies providing services to clients with speech and/or hearing concerns.  This year they have chosen the John McGivney Children’s Centre Augmentative Communication Clinic as the recipient of their donation.
 
These funds will be used towards the purchase of new assessment equipment and devices.  This will allow our clients timely access to current technology. 

 We are extremely grateful for their generosity!

JMCC is pleased with the results of the RBC Golf Tournament held at Essex Golf Course on September 10, 2012, particularly the Chopper Dropper fundraising component.  It was exciting to watch a helicopter drop over 1,200 golf balls onto the 18th fairway, resulting in $12,000 to be shared between JMCC and Maryvale.  One of the 5 winning balls actually dropped into the hole!

The John McGivney Children’s Centre is appreciative of the fundraising efforts of the University of Windsor Odette School of Business students who organized the Fort Test Drive initiative this past fall and helped to raise $3,700 for the Centre.  We also thank Rose City staff and Ford Canada for supporting the John McGivney Children’s Centre in this fundraising project.  Without support from organizations within our community, we could not offer the highest quality of services to children with disabilities.

Don Warner, President of the Moramos Shrine Club of Windsor, along with several members of the club, presented a cheque for $10,000 to the Centre on April 10, 2012.

The money will help pay for swipe card access and automatic door openers for the splinting clinic, the Snoezelen room and the activities of daily living, an area designed for the testing and training of equipment used every day by the children. The areas were selected by the Shriners club based on the importance to the children, families and staff of the Centre.

This is the second partnership between JMCC and the Shriners. In 2010, the Centre was selected to participate in the Mocha Shriners Pediatric Telemedicine Service project.

The Centre sincerely appreciates the ongoing support and generosity of the Moramos Shrine Club of Windsor.
