The London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® held its twelfth annual Homes for Hope® Bonspiel on January 24. The festivities, which included a silent auction, began at 8:30 a.m. at the Ilderton Curling Club. This popular event is a fundraiser for Mission Services, which has provided shelter and assistance to the homeless and disadvantaged in our community for over 60 years. Since its inception, the Bonspiel has raised about $86,000 for Mission Services. In total, through a number of different fundraisers, including the very successful Homes for Hope® pins, the Board has raised over $193,000 for Mission Services since 1992.
A full complement of 16 teams participated, enjoying the festivities both on and off the ice. A great day was had by all, with over $11,000 raised for Mission Services of London.
“This event is always a lot of fun for everyone involved, but it’s also a great way for LSTAR to give back,” says President Joe Hough. “We are very proud to support Mission Services and the great work they do.”
