As a volunteer run, not-for-profit organization, we rely on local businesses to get involved for mutual strategic benefit. Many of our basic operating and capital costs are covered by our membership registration income. Where we lack the financial support is in investment in playing equipment for our numerous Learn to Curl programs, training for coach certification, and promoting and developing our programs.
