Wells of Hope board chair Scott Maxwell notes, “ We’re grateful to be part of this event. We know that thousands of people will now have access to safe drinking water thanks to the Vaughan family who sponsored the Well, as well as Rotary Niagara on the Lake, and the Sircorp restaurant group who funded the generator. That’s something worth celebrating!” Proceeds from the event will support ongoing Wells of Hope projects in Guatemala. Tickets for the event are sold out.
