A little change can make a big difference.

At Sawyer’s, we’ve seen how something as simple as a loonie can help make life a little easier for a neighbour.

When you donate your spare change through our Loonies for Laundry bins or tap to donate at the counter, you’re helping provide access to clean clothes and giving local families one less thing to worry about. 🧺✨

100% of donations go directly to the Exeter Lions Club, supporting families right here in our community. 🦁

So next time you’re at the laundromat, check your pockets. That little loonie could help give someone a fresh start.

💻 Donate online: looniesforlaundry.ca
📍 Or visit us in-store to give!

Every loonie counts.

What an amazing day!

The Exeter Lions want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out and made this year's Lions Cup Mens Scramble such a memorable event!

A special thank you to our incredible hosts at White Squirrel Golf Club for providing a fantastic setting, and a huge shoutout to our partnering sponsor, Southwest Marine and Powersports! Over the past 5 years, Southwest Marine has donated over $30,000 to our club, helping us support many families, local organizations, and other great local charities. Their generosity means the world to us and to our community.

Congratulations to our back to back champions Brad Henderson, Oliver Chylia, Brad Parrot and Tim Hornick on an outstanding round of -14. Well deserved!

A sincere thank you to each and every one of our sponsors, you truly are the backbone of this event, and none of it would be possible without you.

We are thrilled to share that this year's tournament raised $20,000 for our community. What an incredible result!

And the fun isn't over yet! Join us for our co-ed tournament on August 8th at White Squirrel Golf Club with a 3:30 shotgun start. Contact us today to sign up — we would love to see you out there!

Thank you to Dan owner of Matzen Media for his donation and creative skills in the making of this video.
