The Blenheim Rotary Club is helping out the Chatham-Kent Children's Treatment Centre Foundation with a $10,000 donation.

The financial support will go towards the foundation's Butterfly Building campaign, which has been raising money to build a new state-of-the-art facility to meet the needs of more children in Chatham-Kent.

A media release sent by the foundation stated that the Children’s Treatment Centre (CTC) provides services to one in seven children and youth within the municipality and is expected to serve one in five by 2020.

This donation specifically will help fund a physiotherapy room when the new CTC facility is built.
