What’s good in Peterborough: AXE-travaganza returns to help the Kawartha-Haliburton Children’s Foundation

In the fundraising world, being different is never a bad thing.

With that well in mind, the Kawartha-Haliburton Children’s Foundation is again turning to axe throwing as a means of bringing people together to raise funds for its Send a Kid to Camp program.

The foundation will host AXE-travaganza May 2nd at the Peterborough Axe Club, with teams and individuals already registering at khcas.on.ca/foundation/axe.

Foundation office manager Bethan Bates says over the past 41 years, more than 5,600 kids have been sent to summer camp, with the goal of sending 150 kids involved with the Children’s Aid Society to camp this summer.

Bates says the appeal of AXE-travaganza lies in its uniqueness.

Bates notes the provision of a summer camp experience is vital to their development and well-being.

Bates says a 3 to 5 p.m. time slot has been added this year with businesses well in mind.

The other time slots available are 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., and 8 to 10 p.m.
