Our Club Culture is not only shaped by the little things we do each week, but it also reflects how well our actions align with what we say and believe. It is about walking the talk. Culture isn’t built in a single meeting. It is built one conversation at a time, through the choices we make and the ways we show up for one another.

Join us in Nipissing Serenity Hospice's parking lot on your lunch break! Chef Mel Wyness will be serving up some delicious meals that are sure to hit the spot. Each meal combo includes a beverage and a freezie for $20.
What is it? Every year, the NBACF holds its primary fundraising event: a prestigious annual dinner spotlighting the impact of the Foundation funds and fundholders, as well as the charities who received grants. This dinner features a full-course catered meal, a presentation and video from the NBACF Board, a fantastic silent auction, and a competitive live auction to finish the night. Guests from local charities, businesses, the political sphere, and local clubs all come together to celebrate another great year of impact and philanthropy in our community. This year will be the 12th Annual Foundation Dinner.
When and Where is it? This year’s dinner will take place on Friday, October 2nd at the Grande Event Centre, 192 Main Street East. The event will start at 5:00pm.
