Archery Manitoba is thrilled to announce the receipt of a generous $10,000 legacy donation from the local host organizing committee of the 2023 Winnipeg World Police Fire Games. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Archery Manitoba member and chair of the 2023 Games, Chad Swayze, and Patrol Sgt. Ward Gordon of the Winnipeg Police Service, who also served as the treasurer, for their instrumental roles in facilitating this donation. We also thank the entire host organizing committee for their dedication and generosity.
In addition to this substantial financial contribution, our involvement in hosting the games, heavily reliant on the commitment of volunteers, has resulted in nearly $25,000 in legacy funds and facility enhancements to the Archery Manitoba Sanford Range. This significant boost will further support our infrastructure and programs, allowing us to advance our mission of developing archery in Manitoba.
A special acknowledgment is due to our volunteer committee members—Tom Comberbach, Chad Sanders, and Mike Oneschuk—whose tireless efforts were pivotal in successfully hosting the archery events at the Games. We also applaud the additional provincial and community sport organizations that collectively received the remainder of the $300,000 in legacy donations.
