For $40, a team of four (2 male, 2 female) can have a fun day of darts at the Almonte Legion, with proceeds from the event going to the local children’s agency. Each year the Legion hosts this event, hoping to help the agency continue its work to provide mentoring programs for children ages 6 to 16.

Registration for the fun event is taking place at the Legion, and can be done by calling 613-256-2142.  No experience is necessary, you just need to be ready for a fun filled day, with prizes, surprises, and a lot of laughs. Raffles and draws will add to the adventure of the day.

“Partnering with the Legion on this event is always such a pleasure,” says Jennifer Miller, Executive Director for Big Brothers Big Sisters “They put on a great tournament, and work hard to ensure that they support our agency in any way they can. They truly help us share a little magic with children in Lanark County.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada is the nation’s leading mentoring organization.  They believe that “every child in Canada who needs a mentor, has a mentor”.   Simply put, they are the experts when it comes to mentoring. 

Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies match children in need of a mentor with positive adult role models who provide positive life experiences. 

The Lanark County agency has over 300 local children in their programs, and have a significant number of children still waiting to be matched. They are not a government funded agency, so rely on the community’s generosity to continue to offer mentoring programs in Lanark County.
