Testimonials

Dear Portofino,

On behalf of Island Montessori House School, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your kind donation to our Family Carnival & Silent Auction. The day was a great succes and a lot of fun! We raised over $4000 towards our annual fundraising goal. The money allows us to offset the costs of running the preschool and kindergarten, giving many families the opportunity to be part of a wonderful integrated early childhood program.

Dear Mr. Verbeke,

Thank you for your support of our BC Wine and Oyster Fest fundraising event. The rainy June weather finally changed to sunshine just in time to welcome our guests for the 14th Annual BC Wine and Oyster Fest on Friday, June 13th. Thanks to the outstanding commitment and support received from people like you, this year's event was another huge success!

Dear Staff at Portofino Bakery,

On behalf of Rowing Canada, I would like to thank you for donating loaves of bread to our Canadian rowers in their final stages of preparation to attend the Olympic Games. It seems funny that food makes a difference, but as they are training three times a day, six days a week, they definitely need the extra calories! We appreciate the kind community support - Thank you!

Shannon Talentino, National Team Coordinator

Dear Portofino Bakery,

Please accept our sincere thank you for your ongoing donations to the Victoria ARC. Without generous donations like yours we could not provide the residents of our facility with the care they need. We do appreciate your support of our Centre and the services and programs we provide to the community at large.

Thank you for your generous donation of desserts towards our fundraising efforts. On September 23rd, the fundraising concert was a great success as we raised over $3800 from the silent auction. Your contributions will directly benefit our wonderful group of 24 music students, aged between 10 and 17. Thanks again for your generous support.  Our children are looking forward to this educational experience.

Thank you very much for sponsoring our club this year with your very generous donation of many, many delicious buns for our fundraising sale at Greenhawk in March. They were delicious and very much appreciated by our many hungry customers. Thank you again for supporting our club!
