The annual VFC 26th anniversary picnic, fun social event, and “26 Reasons to Walk/Run/Ride” fundraiser will be held on Sunday, June 23, 2024 from 11:00 AM to 4 PM. As in the past, the Dolph picnic area at Riverside Park, 49 King Street West, Cambridge, Ontario will be our location.

We want you and your family to attend, and we encourage you to participate in any way you can. Join the picnic fun and the optional Walk/Run/Ride to raise vasculitis awareness and funds for research. Enjoy your choice of tasty wraps, salads, chips, and drinks. Try your luck in a 50:50 draw, silent auction, door prizes, and fun entertainment. Donated prizes for the silent auction are always needed and welcome. Please let us know if you can contribute.

This year features great family fun with an “all-ages” magic program called “Shenanigans” with noted magician Ron Guttman, see the link for more info: https://www.thepartymagician.com/
