Fall 2025 Film Fundraiser
CFUW-Northumberland is pleased to announce the results of another successful Film Fundraiser at the Rainbow Cinema in Cobourg! Attendees enjoyed a wonderful movie, The Penguin Lessons, and raised funds for CFUW-N scholarships and apprenticeship program. A winning combination!
Many thanks to our sponsor: Julie Parker, Royal Service Real Estate Inc. Once again, Julie covered the costs of the film and the venue. As a result, all proceeds went to CFUW-N scholarships, helping young women across Northumberland pursue their dreams.
Established in Canada, truly Canadian.
We also received tremendous support, again, from these nearby businesses:

Speaking for the Earth
CFUW-Northumberland was thrilled that Rick Beaver was our special guest at the annual CFUW-Northumberland Scholarship Fundraising Event on May 6, 2025. Rick is a well-known wildlife biologist and conservationist and is especially recognized for his advocacy on behalf of the Alderville Black Oak Savanna where he was the research and restoration coordinator.
A big thank you to all the members and guests who made this event so successful. Close to $4,000 was raised to support our scholarships, enabling young women across Northumberland to pursue their educational dreams.
Our Scholarship Program
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. With the help of our members, other individuals and businesses, we have been able to increase our support over the past several years. Thank you to all our supporters!
