Foundation Achievements:
 
 

We would like to thank all of our Participants, Sponsors and Volunteers, without whom our success would not have been possible!

Here's what we have achieved together!

2000
In 2000, the foundation responded to a request from Pembroke Minor Hockey for a donation. We were able to donate enough sweaters for the entire atom division. These sweaters are expected to last for ten years.

2001
In 2001 the foundation was able to donate money, along with his father Frank Adlam, for some children to attend the Youth Ministries Hockey School. This is an organization that Tim was involved with every summer. Five children were able to attend the camp that otherwise would not have had the chance.

2002
In 2002, the Foundation donated $5000.00 to the Town of Petawawa to help them build a playground for children in the area where Tim lived. In 2003 Peter Boudens and Molson Canada, and the Town of Petawawa helped to improve the Tim Adlam Park by donating funds necessary through their Local Hero's initiative. A new weather shelter was constructed at the park to help protect it's users from inclement weather and to provide a shaded rest area.

2003
In 2003, the Foundation was able to donate $5000.00 to the Pembroke and Area Boy's and Girl's Club. This donation was greatly appreciated by the club and used for a wide variety of children's programs and activities in areas where the children would have otherwise not had an opportunity to participate.

2004
In 2004 we donated a set of jerseys to the upstart junior lacrosse league in Pembroke, donated a new sound system to the Petawawa Fund Raising Committee to assist them with their own fundraising initiatives at the Petawawa Civic Centre hall, $5000.00 to the Phoenix Centre and Alpha House for their children's risk prevention programs and $2000.00 for the Petawawa Public Library for a multimedia centre for children as part of their new expansion.

2005
In 2005 we donated $500.00 to the Micheal Burgess and Rik Emmett concert at Festival Hall in Pembroke which in turn was a fundraiser for Our Lady of Lourdes elementary school to establish a music program for children. We also donated $1500.00 to Youth Ministries Hockey School. This is an organization that Tim was involved with every summer. Four more children were able to attend the camp that otherwise would not have had the chance.

Also in 2005 we donated $500.00 to a young girl from the Pembroke area to attend a prestigious summer camp called the 'Educational Leadership Centre' in Orilla, Ontario. This camp is an exceptional opportunity for students to gain valuable self confidence and leadership qualities combined with various sports activities. The young lady that we had assisted to attend the camp had recently lost her father and within a few months her mother passed on as well.

With the passing of a friend of the Foundation, Jason Doucet, in the summer of 2005, $1000.00 was donated to a scholarship fund that was created to assist with his children's future educational needs.

We were also fortunate enough to assist Terry Giroux and the Pembroke Oldtimers hockey club by donating $3000.00 that was directed towards a portion of wheel chair van for a local youth named Nicole Wheeler.

2006
In 2006, the Foundation, on behalf of our annual hockey tournament champion team from Cormac, donated $1000.00 to a trust fund created for a young girl from Round Lake, Emily Borutski, age 3, to assist with the outpouring of community support in an ongoing battle against a brain tumour.

In April, we donated $5000.00 to the Children's Wish Foundation to grant one of three wishes for local deserving children. The money we be used for a trip to Disneyworld, for a child with a life threatening illness.

In May we donated $500.00 to Jasmine Scobie, from Renfrew, to assist her fundraising efforts in attending a world-class wrestling tournament in Scotland.

2007
In January of 2007, $860.00 was donated to the Pembroke Pee Wee Kings to send them to the International Silver Stick Tournament in Port Huron, Michigan.

In March 2007, $200.00 was donated to a young girl from Pembroke to play on a traveling softball team for the summer of 2007, which would have been too much of a burden on the family, and the girl would not have been able to attain the full potential of her abilities.

In April, the Foundation made a donation to Randa Teschner of Petawawa, a 14-year-old skier from Petawawa to assist her in attending the Whistler Cup in British Columbia. The donation was made to pay for her flight to and from the event. The event was held over seven days and Randa placed 14th out of 117 people. The Whistler Cup was attended by participants from twenty other nations and Randa is the first competitor ever from the Ottawa Valley to qualify for the event.

In May we donated $1150.00 to Rita Adlam to send three children from CFB Petawawa to the hockey school that Tim attended and instructed at in Kingston, Ontario. These kids were chosen from families that had one or both parents overseas fighting on behalf of our country, and that had seen their families separated for extended periods of time.

2008
In Jan 2008, the Foundation sponsored the Ottawa Valley Thunder Bantam BB girls hockey team by donating $650.00 to send them to the International Silver Stick Tournament in Cold Creek, Ontario. This team of young ladies is an elite group of hockey players residing in various areas of the County including Arnprior, Barry's Bay, Beachburg, Cobden, Killaloe and Pembroke. The girls were fortunate enough to return with the first ever women's Silver Stick hockey championship for the Ottawa Valley!

In May the Foundation donated $5151.56 to Sarah Boudens to purchase new racing equipment. Sarah, a local resident, qualified for the Olympic games in Beijing, China for women's slalom kayak. 2008 will be a busy year for Sarah with training, World Championships, world cup races and the Olympics. We wish her all the best in her future sporting endeavors.

2009
In March of 2009, the Foundation donated $1500 to the Petawawa Civic Centre fundraising as a portion of the funds required to purchase a stainless steel bar-b-que to be used for all future events at the Civic Centre Complex. In turn the fundraising committee graciously donated their services for our hockey tournament.

In July, the Foundation donated $500 to Spencer McBride, a Laurentian Valley youth to assist him with partial costs to attend a prestigious leadership camp. Camp Wilvaken provides a safe, exciting learning experience for each and every camper, the opportunity to make decisions and accept responsibilities, an atmosphere of team work where activities are meaningful and challenging, a place where campers develop a second language, self-esteem, respect and confidence through sport and leadership training.

Also in July, the Foundation donated $5000 to Zachary Stuart, a nine year old boy from Petawawa to assist with travel and accommodation expenses occurring while he fights a rare genetic disease called Adrenal Leuko Dystrophy, which affects the adrenal glands and white matter of the central nervous system. Zachary spent over 70 days between the Sick Children's Hospital in Toronto and CHEO in Ottawa. Zachary still visits Ottawa twice a week as well as countless other medical professionals regularly. While only representing a small portion of the expenses occurred, the Foundation wishes Zachary a full recovery as he battles through his illness.

In October of 2009, $1420 was given to Marissa Gaudette as partial funding for the purchase of a Turney seat. Marissa suffers from Cerebral Palsy and the Turney seat will assist her in getting in and out of the family van. The seat was able to be purchased for Marissa by combining funds from the Tim Adlam Wish Foundation, Easter Seals, Pembroke / Petawawa Support Association and private donations.
