The time has come to throw some axes once again for a great cause! Join us on August 26th, 2023, at the Fonthill Legion for the Axes Up Fundraising Tournament.

Year four of doing some good in the world with axes! Over the past three years, our axe community and the Pelham community have come together to raise an incredible thirty thousand dollars for the Fonthill Legion and their Meals on Wheels program. Together, we have played a crucial role in getting the Legion’s kitchen back up and running, enabling more meals to reach those who need them the most.

The Fonthill Legion is not only the best place to play shuffleboard and enjoy an icy cold OV, but it also serves as a pillar of support for our community in countless ways. From providing assistance to veterans to organizing various social events, the Legion has become an integral part of Pelham. Last year, their exceptional efforts in preparing and delivering free meals to housebound individuals during the ongoing pandemic were recognized with a prestigious Niagara Region Impact Award.

We invite the Niagara community to step up to the axe-throwing target and show our appreciation and support for the Fonthill Legion’s invaluable contributions. Together, let’s make this year’s tournament an even greater success and continue making a positive difference in Pelham.
