2025-26 Scholarship Fundraising Project

Some Special Gifts to Support Education

We are delighted to share that CFUW Hamilton has received three generous donations to launch our 2025–26 Fundraising Project in support of the CFUW Hamilton Scholarship Fund.

  • An original painting by E. Robert Ross  – Value – $1,000
  • A hand-blown glass bowl by acclaimed artist Paul Rodrigue – Value – $750
  • A rare bottle of Glenfiddich Perpetual Collection Whiskey – Value – $150

Together, these remarkable contributions symbolize artistry, craftsmanship, and community spirit — all coming together to advance educational opportunities for local students.

E. Robert Ross 

Renowned for his dramatic landscapes and evocative realism, Ross’s work celebrates the beauty of nature and place. 

Paul Rodrigue 

An award-winning glass artist whose vibrant, hand-blown pieces capture light and colour in motion. 

Glenfiddich Perpetual Collection 

A rare whisky crafted through Glenfiddich’s Solera-Vat process, a continuous blending method that keeps the spirit in motion — evolving with each bottling to create a whiskey that “never stands still.” 

Our Fundraising Committee is currently working closely with the City of Hamilton to obtain the required raffle license. Once approved, we’ll announce the official ticket launch date and details. Stay tuned through the Club Newsletter and our website updates. 

Your involvement makes all the difference! Here’s how you can support this exciting fundraiser: 

  •  Spread the word! Tell friends, family, and neighbors about our upcoming raffle.
  • Buy a few tickets when they become available — they make great gifts too!
  • Sell tickets when they become available – to family, friends, co-workers, members of your social groups, and neighbors.
  •  Help us connect — do you know a local shop owner who might host a ticket sales table? 
  • Share online — once we launch, amplify our posts on Facebook, Instagram, and X. 

Together, we can make this one of CFUW Hamilton’s most successful scholarship drives yet.

When you support CFUW Hamilton, you invest in education, empowerment, advocacy, and community. 

  • Education — Your contributions provide scholarships to deserving local students. 
  • Empowerment — You help women reach their goals and make a lasting impact.
  • Advocacy — You stand with us in promoting human rights, social justice, and gender equality. 
  • Community — You strengthen friendships and connections with purpose. 

Every dollar raised through our Fundraising Project goes directly to the CFUW Hamilton Scholarship Fund, helping local students pursue their dreams of higher education. Together, we can continue our 100-year legacy of supporting learning and opportunity in the Hamilton community.

Thank you for being part of this meaningful journey.
