The RCEME Foundation’s inaugural Year End fundraising campaign not only met its $17,000 goal but surpassed it by a wide margin. Members of the RCEME Council joined forces with the Foundation’s Board of Directors to pledge $8,500 in matching funds so that for every dollar donated, the Board and Council would donate the same amount. By the time the campaign officially ended on New Year’s Eve, we had raised more than $22,000, an impressive achievement for a start-up Foundation. While we will not disclose any donor details, four of our most generous donors were motivated by their desire to honour their father’s service with RCEME during the Second World War. The RCEME Foundation’s mandate is about honouring and preserving such a legacy. Our sincere thanks to all of you who participated in this event, we hope that our achievements in 2022 will persuade you to continue supporting the RCEME Foundation.

Your donations will support the digital transformation of the RCEME Museum, including the launch of a Digital Archive, which will record and preserve countless RCEME artifacts from across Canada. Our goal is to make our heritage, our stories, and artifacts accessible to our entire Community and to future generations.
Help us make 2022 as successful as this year has been, Arte et Marte.
