Partners
Children's Wish Fondation
Passion Curling is proud to partner with the Children's Wish Foundation! The Foundation is designed to help children with
a disease that threatens their lives and we want above all to continue our social engagement. From 2011 to 2015, we
held an event, the Curling-O-Thon, to benefit the Foundation and we provided an amount of $36,000. We are very pleased
to continue this tradition through different events and put happiness and smiles in the life of some families.
