2025 Spring Film Fundraiser Raises Funds for
CFUW-N Scholarships!
CFUW-Northumberland is delighted to announce we had a very successful Spring Film Fundraiser, on Monday, March 24, 2025.
This special screening of “Suze”, a Canadian comedy-drama, was attended by more than 80 supporters.
Many, many thanks to our sponsor: Julie Parker, Royal Service Real Estate Inc. Julie covered the costs of the film and the venue. As a result, all proceeds go to CFUW-N scholarships, helping young women across Northumberland pursue their dreams.
Established in Canada, truly Canadian.
We also received tremendous support from these nearby businesses:
Boston Pizza and CJ’s Tap and Grill offered discounts to ticket holders on Monday March 24.
Arthur’s Pub, Best Western Plus, Cobourg, donated 10% of the income from all meals sold to viewers of Suze (before tax and gratuity) to CFUW-N towards scholarships.
Many thanks for this terrific support for our scholarships!
All proceeds go to CFUW-Northumberland Scholarships
In 2024, CFUW-Northumberland awarded over $14,000 in scholarships and bursaries to female Northumberland County students from the six Northumberland County high schools, Trent University, Fleming College and the First People’s House of Learning at Trent University. In addition to the six annual college/university entrance scholarships, six scholarships were awarded to female students entering apprenticeship programs.
