The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday November 20, 2002 - A5 Eric and Vizma Sprott love a challenge. For the past two years, the financially successful couple has matched, up to $100,000, new leadership donations to the United Way of Oakville (UWO). Leadership giving consti tutes donations of at least $1,000 or more annually. This year, the Sprotts have increased this challenge to $150,000. They call it the Sprott Challenge. Vizma owns Bookers Bookstore in downtown Oakville, and Eric is chair man and CEO of Sprott Securities, one of Canada's most successful investment firms with offices in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver. They believe in giving back. "Our community has been good to us," said Vizma. "We believe it just makes sense to give back. And we're thrilled the community seems to be responding to the fact that a resident of Oakville has set this challenge." The Sprott Challenge is the UWO's single largest donation. The money donated by the business couple goes into the UWO's endowment, The Tomorrow Fund , that will be invested for distribution to member agencies well into Liesa Kortmann · Oakville Beaver Alison Pickard, centre, executive director of the United Way of Oakville, is grateful to Vizma Sprott, left, her daughter Julijana Sprott, husband Eric and daughter Larisa (both not shown) for increasing the Sprott Challenge to $150,000.
