Thank You

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for partnering with us this year at the 6th Annual Tournament of Hope. Your commitment to the tournament this year was appreciated and we are conscious of the sacrifice your company has made to support the Gateway of Hope in all its endeavours. This year with your help and help of all of our staff and volunteers the Tournament of Hope was enjoyed by 60 golfers and raised over $14,000. 
Your generous support will be caringly invested into people of this community that need hope and support. The Gateway of Hope has the privilege of providing an emergency shelter with beds for 30 community guests as well as a long term second stage Opportunities Program for 25 program participants.  While a program participant is staying at the Gateway of Hope a personal advisor will assist them in assessing their strengths, weaknesses and barriers. Then they will partner with them to explore opportunities to learn new life skills that will help them towards career employment and sustainable housing. Our kitchen serves three meals a day to those in our Emergency Shelter as well as one meal per day to the community. The state of the art training kitchen makes it possible for us to offer classes on the basics of cooking as well as our Cooks Training course; equipping people with new skills and preparing them to make a successful reintegration back to sustainable employment.

With your support and the support of the community; together we are helping others reach new opportunities.

The 2011 Tournament of Hope was a success because of you, thank you for your generous support.

Thank you and God bless you,
