Since the choir began in 2010, regular concerts have always been presented free-of-admission: free-will offerings have been solicited from the audience in support of a featured local charity. Each featured charity participates in the concert as presenters and a symbolic cheque (and a real one) is presented to them at the close of the concert.
. Support for local Charities in the past 5 years:
OVE President Fred Larsen presents a record-breaking cheque to Chris Peacock of the "Sharing Place" Food Centre (Food Bank) of Orillia.
WE raised $20,200 for the Sharing Place!
