The Barrie Colts Foundation was established to support local charities and organizations and contribute to the on-going wellbeing of our community.
Funds are contributed each year through the proceeds from our jersey auctions, periodic contributions from The Horsepower Sports & Entertainment Group Inc. and owners of the Barrie Colts, the proceeds from the 50/50 draws at Barrie Colts home games and from various other fundraising activities throughout the year.
Monies in the fund are paid out to various charities in our community. Past and current recipients include:
