Members of the RAIC’s College from the Southwest Ontario region recently gathered at the Massey College for a fundraiser event that raised $20,000 for the RAIC Foundation. 

It was a wonderful, weather-perfect evening spent in the Massey College courtyard honouring the new Members of the College and Student medal winners and Scholarship recipients and reconnecting with colleagues. Sponsorship by 19 firms was key to the success of the event and we are very grateful for that support. A special thanks to:  
Architects Tillmann Ruth Robinson, B+H Architects, Brook McIlroy, CS&P Architects Inc., Diamond Schmitt Architects Inc., ERA Architects Inc., Giannone Petricone Associates, Hariri Pontarini Architects, KPMB Architects, McCallum Sather Architects, MJMA Architecture and Design, Moriyama & Teshima Architects, Nicholson Sheffield Architects Inc., Parkin Architects Limited, Perkins & Will, Stantec, superkül, Sweeny & Co Architects Inc., and +VG Architects Ltd.  
  
Their generosity not only supported the event but permitted all of the honourees to attend the event free of charge. It also allowed 100% of the ticket sales to be donated to the RAIC Foundation. 
 
The final tally is in and the sponsorships funds, combined with all of the Members who were so giving when purchasing tickets, allowed us to make a donation of $20,000 to the RAIC Foundation, which will be directed towards student scholarships and bursaries that support public awareness of architecture.  
 
Our volunteer Committee is heartened to see the combined power of comradery, celebration and charity within our relatively small group of SW Ontario Members of the College.  
 
Thanks to everyone who attended – it was a grand time! 
 
Sincerely on behalf of the RAIC College of Fellows Southwest Ontario Region Committee,

Mary Jane Finlayson, FRAIC, Chair
