On behalf of the Pine Tree Potters’ Guild, I would like to express our gratitude to everyone who supported our 15th Annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser at Newmarket’s Old Town Hall in November.

​

Empty Bowls events are held by potters in communities throughout North America to raise funds and awareness for local charities that work to relieve hunger and homelessness within their community. The two local charities Pine Tree Potters’ Guild Empty Bowls fundraiser supports are Welcoming Arms, Aurora, and Inn From the Cold, Newmarket. For 2024, we are thrilled to report that our event raised $27,600, therefore, Welcoming Arms, Aurora & Inn from the Cold, Newmarket, have each received $13,800. 

 

Since our first event in 2010, Pine Tree Potters’ Guild has raised $285,800 for our charities.

With thanks,

Lisa-Marie Oliphant
