The Rotary Club of Kelowna Sunrise has made a generous donation to support local youth.

On Friday, Jan. 19, the club presented The Foundry, a wellness centre focusing on youth mental heath, with a $10,000 cheque.

Andy Griffin, president of the Sunrise club, said “our priorities in our club are projects and causes that benefit the community’s youth primary, the elderly and those in need… it just was a natural fit for the Sunrise club.”
