Not only do club members and guests come together to celebrate the American holiday together, it is also the club's largest fundraiser.

At the end of every year, AWCO donates the funds raised to a variety of local charities. Membership in AWCO includes American Citizens, those who have previously lived in the US, or those with American relatives.

AWCO celebrates it's 40th year in Oakville this year.
