PARISIAN CAFE FUNDRAISING EVENT
In August of 2025 a small group of SIP volunteers held a Parisian Cafe event. The venue was provided by Elizabeth, a member of SI Peterborough (SIP). The team raised over $1000 which will be used to support our signature programs for women and girls. One of our the guests sent an email after the event:
Just a note to say you gals and Soroptimist members organized an extraordinary lovely event today.  I have nothing to compare it to your other events but I hope you were delighted with the results. It is obvious a huge amount of planning and organization was behind it all.  The setting, the welcome cocktail, the over-the-top presentation of the yummy ‘delights’ and the gathering of so many friends together was A+. Pass along my compliments to all involved. I especially took time to thank Elizabeth before I left. (from Heather T.)

Soroptimist Peterborough members work at a number of fundraising events to support our work in the community with women and girls.

                 

Even in the age of COVID-19, we are hard at work “virtually” with an online fundraiser called Taste of the World where participants can make an online donation using the Canada Helps secure platform. In the process of doing so, they can choose a virtual travel experience, meet a family from that area and get a recipe to try at home from their travel location. Great fun!

Gift cards are available for purchase (you pay for and retain the full value of the card), while Soroptimist Peterborough is furnished a percentage of the value by the card supplier. Consider carrying these for everyday purchases or using for gifts. There is a wide variety of vendors available including grocery, gas, department stores, online retailers and restaurants. Please use our Contact page if you’d like more information and an order form to participate. Orders are typically placed the first weekend of the month and arrive the second weekend of the month.

Soroptimist also works locally with OLG/Delta Bingo to raise funds for the important charitable work that we do – providing education and support to women and girls so they can provide a better future for their families and our community. Members are asked to sign up for periodic “shifts”, and we are sent funds on a monthly basis based on our participation.
