Gala to Assist Women and Children in Halton

In 2007, the Zonta Club of Oakville held it's first annual fundraiser to assist women victims of domestic abuse in the Halton region . It was a highly successful event, which allowed us to contribute significant funds to the Assaulted Women’s Helpline, Halton Women’s Place and Home Suite Hope to provide crisis services.

The funds raised this year will continue to support our efforts from last year to provide a whole rehabilitation program for women in Halton region. This year we are adding the critical element to help break the cycle and become self-sufficient: career skills through education. We will be funding bursaries for education in a full-time program at Sheridan College.
