What people around Hamilton are saying

The Hamilton Bulldogs have a long history of helping our most needy students and schools.  The HWDSB Foundation is pleased to be a partner with an organization that exhibits this high level of corporate social responsibility!"

Wayne JoudrieChair, HWDSB Foundation

Thank you to the Bulldogs’ Foundation for the continued support of the breakfast programs at the Hamilton Wentworth Catholic District School Board. Our students start the day well prepared to learn as a result of the commitment by the Foundation.

The Bulldogs’ Foundation funding has made this important research possible and will help the Upopolis team plan for ongoing support of youth with chronic illness.

Without the Bulldogs’ Foundation, such a major investment would have been impossible for a comparatively small charity like ours.
