News
November 2011 – Annual Giggle Gala

May 2011 – This year's Really Big Book Sale was a resounding success! Our thanks go out to those who donated books, purchased books, or simply came out to help. Your generosity helped us raise just over $1600.

December 2010 – A huge thank you goes out to the students and staff at Convent Glen Catholic School for their continued support. On October 29th, Mrs. Mindorff and her students held their Hallowe'en Bake Sale and served up a variety of delicious cookies, brownies, and cupcakes. The class was very proud to present the Foundation with a cheque for $750. You guys totally rock!

June 2010 – The directors extend their heartfelt thanks to Gratien Proulx Building Materials, Inc of Ottawa for donating the proceeds of their annual golf tournament to One Boy One Van Foundation. The company's gift of $8200 is our largest single donation to date, and will directly assist special-needs children in the Ottawa region.

February 2010 – The directors also wish to thank Kathleen Ladelpha, proprietress of Paparazzi Original Couture, for selecting OBOVF as the recipient of proceeds from the "Faces, Finance, and Fashion Fundraiser". The evening which featured guest speakers, raffle items, and a fashion show, raised close to $400.
