Every year, AWS raises charitable funds through various fundraisers and events. These funds are distributed to nominated Surrey based charities to leave a permanent philanthropic footprint in the local community. Members can download a copy of our Charity Nomination Form by logging into the website. The nominated charities are added to the slate and funds are distributed based on the following criteria and processed as defined by the Club's by-laws. Nomination forms are made available to members no later than March. Questions? Click here to contact our Philanthropy team about nominating a charity.
