OARA Donation Supports Niagara Kidney Disease Patients
Through its recent donation of $50,000 to the It’s Our Time Campaign, the Ontario

“Our organization is committed to making a difference in communities throughout
Ontario,” says Wally Dingman, Chairman of the OARA Board and General
Manager of Caughill Auto Wreckers. “My family has been touched by kidney
disease so I am very proud to support the new dialysis unit in St. Catharines that
will provide care to local patients, such as our family and friends." FILM 5
Donations to numerous charities are being made as part of OARA’s “Celebration
of Auto Recycling” Campaign. Members are giving $35 for every vehicle they
acquire through the Retire Your Ride recycling program - an initiative aimed , ,
at getting 50,000 high-polluting vehicles off the road by March 31st, 2011. si/* Iseriesn
