2024 Tree of Remembrance
Winter Glow at Sankofa Square
The 2024 Rotary Club of Toronto Tree of Remembrance fundraiser and Rotary Awareness project came to a triumphant conclusion on Sunday, December 22nd. The event was a resounding success, with countless ribbons carrying heartfelt messages of peace, love, and cherished memories adorning the tree, symbolizing unity and compassion within the community.
Over the course of three weeks, Sankofa Square was bustling with Rotarians, Rotary Exchange students, friends, and family who volunteered their time to raise awareness about Rotary and its projects among the thousands of Torontonians and visitors who passed by.
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the City of Toronto, Mayor Chow, Sankofa Square, Winter Glow Toronto, our sponsors, suppliers, and every member and volunteer who dedicated their time and effort to make this year's Tree of Remembrance a success. Your collective contributions have brought our community closer together and showcased the true spirit of the Rotary Club of Toronto.
We would also like to express our special appreciation to TP Sheehan, Past President Jayson Phelps, Past President Anny-Sandra Hamel, and Sergio Amatller for their tireless efforts and guidance throughout the project. Your commitment and leadership have been invaluable in ensuring the success of this event.
As we look forward to next year's celebration, we are excited to continue building on the success of this year's event and create an even more memorable and impactful experience for all involved. See you all next year for an even more spectacular Tree of Remembrance!
**I apologize in advance if I missed mentioning anyone. Please know that all your help is greatly appreciated.
