Over 1200 Golder employees around the world participated in the Global African Quilt Fundraiser in April and May, raising over $10,000 USD for the Golder Trust for Orphans.  New GAC President Brian Conlin matched the employee donations for a total of $20,000 USD raised.

Thanks to all of the participants for your support! Thanks also to John Gilby and Cathy Pitman
from the Mississauga office for all your enthusiasm and help, and to Erica Gilby for making and generously donating the quilt for the raffle.

Congratulations to the following winners:

• The draw for the quilt was won by Dennis Martin from the Ottawa office. Congratulations, Dennis!
• The official challenge to the offices was won by the downtown Toronto Office.

Stay tuned for our next global fundraiser—The Soccer World Cup Fundraiser, to be held in 2010 in conjunction with the Soccer World Cup in South Africa!
