The St Paul Curling Foundation (SPCF) is now open for business. Members have often asked if they can make tax-deductible contributions to support SPCC and now they can. The SPCF exists to raise money for the Foundation's various supported causes, including junior curling, curling education, and the historic preservation of the St Paul Curling Club. Eligible parties can apply for funding from the Foundation, and anyone can contribute to these causes by donating to the Foundation.
