Delta Brampton Raises $15,000 for women worldwide

Zonta International is a global organization of professionals numbering nearly 30,000 members, in 1,200 Zonta clubs, in 67 countries. The Mission of Zonta is to empower women worldwide through service and advocacy. Chartered in 1974, the Zonta Club of Brampton-Caledon is pleased and proud to celebrate almost 42 years of service in the community. The Club responds to community needs by undertaking projects which address women’s economic self sufficiency, education, security and health. Local services are primarily dictated by their fundraising efforts. Over $700,000 has been returned back into the community serving over 40 organizations. The Zonta Club has been very active in the sponsoring and organizing of Z Clubs in high schools with the goal of preparing youth to become future leaders through service. Z Clubbers have the opportunity to learn valuable communication skills, as well as gain leadership experience through their service projects in the secondary school setting. The dollars raised through their fund raising projects have benefited many of the charities in the area. At 17 clubs, the Zonata Club of Brampton-Caledon has the highest number of Z Clubs world-wide and they also have one Golden Z Club at the university level. Last July, the Zonta Club resumed their bingo fund raising activities at Delta Bingo & Gaming Brampton. They raised their target goal of $15,000, which was earmarked to fund one-half of the purchase of a van for the Honeychurch Family Life Resource Centre in Brampton. The van will be used to transport high risk clients to service their legal and medical needs. For further information about the Zonta Club of Brampton- Caledon, please visit zontabramptoncaledon.com.
