Raising Funds for Education and
Community Enrichment
CFUW Perth & District is part of a non-profit national organization dedicated to supporting education, literacy and the arts in our community. To accomplish this, the club holds yearly fundraising events in the community. In a response to COVID, our annual House Tour continues to be on hold. New initiatives are always being developed.
As a community organization, CFUW Perth is committed to working with other Perth & area community groups. Please contact us with ideas for collaboration.

Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour Bake
For 10 years CFUW Perth & District has been providing a cornucopia of baked goodies to the 1000+ bicyclers from the Ottawa Bike Club that participate in the annual 2-day ride from Ottawa to Kingston and back!
From our tent at Last Duel Park, riders tell us they really appreciate the cookies, muffins, brownies, date squares, lemon bars and more, coffee and cold drinks on offer.
Held the 2nd weekend in June, 2023 should be a great fundraising weekend as we'll also be offering sandwiches. All monies raised support our Education Awards and community endeavours.
