The Al Potvin Family Foundation (APFF) is pleased to announce a recent donation to the Almonte Civitan Club in the amount of $40,000.
The donation will go towards the Civitan Club’s fundraising initiative to build an accessible playground at the Civitan Community Hall in 2027.
The inclusive playground is designed to minimize physical and social barriers and includes a walking track where community members, in particular seniors, can maintain and improve their fitness and mobility in a safe environment.
The donation has helped the Civitan club reach the halfway mark of their $900,000 fundraising goal.
The APFF launched in July 2021 thanks to a generous donation of 1 million dollars from Mississippi Mills resident Al Potvin.
The income from the foundation fund has been disbursed annually to support the youth of Mississippi Mills. The APFF aims to be a force for good in Mississippi Mills for generations to come.
