Almonte native catches the ace in local fundraiser

Anne Hourigan has won close to $38,000 in the Catch the Ace fundraiser in Almonte.

Its being run in support of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 240, and the Almonte General Hospital Fairview Manor Foundation.

Anne lives in Ottawa but grew up in Almonte and still considers it home, making the decision to support the cause an easy one.

Thanks to the community’s enthusiastic support of the online raffle, the legion and AGH FVM Foundation have raised more than $70,000 to date.

The money goes to help the Legion make up shortfalls caused by the pandemic and to purchase new equipment and supplies for the hospital.
