BCWLA donates to Community Assistance Program / Coat Drive

September 3, 2015

At the Northview BCWLA golf function, we presented John Bennett of Livingstone with a donation to the Community Assistance Program and it runs Coat Drive, a community food program, and children's programs. Immediately following the event John got busy and put the money to great use. It is a rare case these days to contribute to a charity that has zero overhead with 100% of the donated funds going directly to a donated cause. This is one of those instances where the money was used to go towards school supplies for children.


BCWLA Golf - Wednesday, August 26th @ Northview - Save the Date!!
