END OF YEAR REMINDER

Dear 1860 Club Member,

Thank you for your continued support as a member of the 1860 Club. 2024 was a great example of the power of your contributions, with 70 serving members being supported to attend the 80th Anniversary of D-Day trip to France.

The 1860 Club manages the fundraising activities for The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada Regimental Trust. The Trust supports the non-publicly funded components of the Regiment, including the Museum, Association, sports teams, golf tournament, commemorative dinners, family holiday party, sending care packages to our deployed members, and funding commemorative trips—such as the upcoming 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands (NLD80).

All of these activities come at a considerable cost. As the end of the year approaches, we kindly ask that you consider making an end-of-year donation to the Regimental Trust.  For your convenience, you can also arrange to have donations automatically withdrawn on an annual or monthly basis. All donations come with a tax receipt and will help elevate your donor status within the 1860 Club.

For the past 4 years, The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada has been identified as the largest and the most effective of any Army Reserve unit in Canada. The Regimental Family has been strengthened through Regimental Trust initiatives that directly impact serving member engagement and retention. Regular donations from members such as yourself make all of this possible.
