ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
The aim of the Matt Murdoch Curling Foundation is to fund two young Scottish curlers annually to receive top class coaching at the Trillium Camp in Ontario, Canada. The camp brings aspiring young curlers together from around the world giving them a chance to share training techniques, develop their own skills and establish new friendships.
The Foundation was set up by Matt Murdoch's friends and family in association with Rotary in his memory when he died in 2014.
