About Us
How the Bonner Boys Started
The Bonner Boys began in 2004 after the passing of Brent Bonner – a friend, teammate, and family man whose #26 jersey still shows up in our colours and handles.
Friends and community members came together to support Brent's young son and family. What was meant to be a one-time push turned into a standing promise: if Uxbridge needed some extra muscle, the Boys would show up.
Over time, those early fundraisers evolved into regular events, bigger projects, and a community club that's still entirely volunteer-run and focused on one thing — helping the people of Uxbridge and surrounding communities.
What the Boys Do Now
Run Events
Like the weekly Cruise-In Car Show, Ribfest, and tournaments
Build Projects
Help fund and build community projects such as the splash pad by the arena
Support Neighbours
Support youth, families, and local organisations when they need a boost
Build Community
Bring people together around the simple idea that neighbours should look out for each other
There's no big bureaucracy, no complicated mission statement – just a lot of time, energy, and heart poured back into the place we live.
Not-for-Profit, Not Distant
The Bonner Boys Community Club is an Ontario not-for-profit corporation. That means:
We're Formal & Recognised
We're a formal, recognised organisation registered as an Ontario not-for-profit corporation.
We Operate Without Profit
We operate on a not-for-profit basis for community benefit – every dollar goes back to the community.
We're Not a Registered Charity
We are not a registered charity, so we don't automatically issue official donation tax receipts. If you're curious about how not-for-profits and charities differ in Canada, the Canada Revenue Agency has clear guidance – and we're always happy to point you to the right info or talk it through.
By the Numbers
Behind every dollar is a ticket sold, a car parked, a rib eaten, a volunteer shift covered, and a story of someone deciding Uxbridge is worth investing in.
