Maintaining a strong and vibrant community is important to us at Kinburn Pharmasave. We live here and work here, as do our customers, which is why we continue to sponsor and support events and organizations throughout the community. We invite you to submit a request on behalf of your community organization or event for our consideration.
Requesting support
Each year, Kinburn Pharmasave receives many requests for support and sponsorship from important and very worthwhile individuals and organizations in our community. Decisions on whether to fund or sponsor are based on several factors including our available resources and funding priorities.
Please keep in mind that even though your request may meet our various funding criteria, we may be unable to approve all applications due simply to the high volume of submissions we receive.
To help you complete and submit your request quickly and properly, please review the following guidelines:

All requests must be submitted in writing to:
