Events

Animal Shelter Donation Day

The Pickering Animal Services provides care for lost and found pets, abandoned and rescued pets, provides adoption services and more. They also provide "pet pantry supplies" to help those in need look after their pets. One of our Pick Chix events is to have a fun day where anyone who wishes to can donate pet food, pet supplies and towels and blankets which are taken to the shelter.   We enjoy a fun round of golf and then lunch and prizes.   Also to add to the fun a simple animal hat or a full blown animal costume are encouraged.

Carolyn Nixon’s South Africa Gogo Project

Carolyn Nixon travels annually to South Africa to assist Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust (HACT) with projects enhancing the lives of women, mostly grandmothers, and the orphans they are raising due to the HIV/AIDS related deaths of their parents. 

Carolyn’s projects include helping the Grandmother Support Groups throughout the vast Valley of 1000 Hills and the creation  of the Gogolympics , a celebration of the spirit of the Gogos. (“Gogo” is the Zulu word for “grandmother”.)     

This is a self-funded philanthropic project which continues to be a success thanks to the generosity and thoughtfulness  of  Carolyn’s friends.

Our annual fund-raising golf tournament, The Wayward Hayward, is typically held at the end of the summer.

What a fun event. A must attend, end of summer event.
