Teams from Manitoba and Ontario captured the championship trophies at the Championship last month in 琉璃神社, but the winning 诲颈诲苍鈥檛 stop there.

The 2016 For The Love of Curling Fundraising Contest, which ran in conjunction with the Travelers Curling Club Championship, raised nearly $40,000 to support youth curling across Canada.

All 28 participating teams (14 men, 14 women) were able to take part, and the teams that raised the most money earned cash grants for improvements to their home curling centres.

The money raised will contribute to youth curling scholarships, as well as to the popular Egg Farmers Rock & Rings, presented by Curling Canada program, which brings the sport of curling to school gymnasiums across Canada to give many youngsters their first exposure to curling.

Kim 闯辞苍蝉蝉辞苍鈥檚 B.C. 飞辞尘别苍鈥檚 team came away with the top prize of a $6,000 grant for the Campbell River Curling Club, after raising $6,250.

Earning $1,000 apiece for their home clubs were the Saskatchewan women skipped by Danette Tracy (Weyburn CC), the Ontario women skipped by Julie 翱鈥橬别颈濒濒 (Lindsay Curling Club), the Ontario men skipped by Wesley Forget (Cataraqui Golf and Country Club, Kingston) and the Newfoundland/Labrador men skipped by Trent Skanes (RE/MAX Centre, St. 闯辞丑苍鈥檚).
