TORONTO - Gore Mutual Insurance Company announced yesterday that they have donated $2 million to their charitable foundation. This is the company's largest contribution to date.
The Gore Mutual Insurance Company Foundation was established to support

organizations including purchasing a CT scanner, supporting camp programs for
children with illnesses, providing affordable housing for adults with
developmental difficulties, and helping to furnish a new cancer treatment
wing. Organizations that received support include United Way, The Children's
Aid Society of Owen Sound, Sarnia Lambton Task Force on Healthcare Worker
