18 - The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday August 16, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Good fun for a good cause The exciting Fifth Annual TigerTel Oakville Charity Dragon Boat Festival takes place Sunday, August 17, 2008, at Kelso Conservation Park. It's an action-packed day with 75 teams competing -- both local and out-of-town. Along with the spirited competitions, the festival is one big party, offering lots of choices to have fun outdoors, with a wide selection of food and beverages, a beer tent for thirsty paddlers and their supporters, prizes, and live musical entertainment. Last year, about 2,500 participated in or attended the charitable event, which is presented annually by the Rotary Club of Oakville Trafalgar as a fundraiser for various charitable organizations. This year's Festival sponsors include three Oakville-based businesses. The Title Sponsor is TigerTel, which provides award-winning, outsourced call centre and contact management services across North America. It is joined by two Major Sponsors, The Co-operators, which provides financial security for Canadians, and The Sign Department, which creates customized signage for any message. Proceeds from this year's event will be donated to the Halton Children's Aid Society, Habitat for Humanity Halton, as well as other charities supported by the Rotary Club of Oakville Trafalgar. Rotary is respected globally for its charity work, especially with children. From vaccinating the world's children against polio to providing communities with clean water, TigerTel is excited to be part of the Oakville Annual Dragon Boat Festival as a Title Sponsor TigerTel's Dragon Boat team, The Blue Tigers have assembled once again to participate in an action packed day of fun spirited competition. At TigerTel we have made this annual event a national concern with all of our locations contributing to our fund raising drives in support of several worthy causes.

Local Rotary clubs also support the needy right in our own community through a wide range of projects, such as running an annual Strawberry Social for elderly shut-ins to helping fund a bus for Halton's Alzheimer Day program operated by Acclaim Health, and much, much more. Last year's Festival raised an impressive $70,000 for charity. That's a lot of paddle power! This year's target is even higher. Gwen Angell-Mighton of the Rotary Club of Oakville Trafalgar, chair of the 2008 Festival organizing committee, says her club is extremely proud of the benefit resulting in the community directly from the funds raised. "It's also a hugely fun event, so it's win-win for everyone involved," she says. So put together some friends and colleagues, and come out and join the fun and help meet our target!
