Grant selected the Hal Rogers Endowment Fund (Kin Canada Bursaries program) as his charity of choice. He would be very pleased to see all the generous donations sent in his honour by his loved ones and fellow Kin from coast to coast.

Happy to meet. Sorry to part.

This year, thanks to generous club donors across the country, Kin Canada Bursaries was pleased to award 70 $1000 bursaries to students in Canada. Click here to view the full list of recipients. Congratulations to all the deserving students!

Did you know? In 20 years, the Hal Rogers Endowment Fund has given out over 1,200 bursaries that have been funded almost entirely by club donations?

If your club has not yet donated, please consider doing so prior to June 30 so we can continue to support Canadian students in 2023. You can submit a donation online at https://www.kincanada.ca//donate.
