Returning Recipient

First, The Cornerstone Youth Centre came back and told us how they allocated the $14k they received from us at our last meeting. The money?helped create a hot lunch program, paint the music room and helped fund the basketball court that has the kids in the neighbourhood lining up to play.

This is EXACTLY why we do what we do, we made a difference for kids that need a space to go to after school, to feel safe and cared for, and?The Cornerstone Youth Centre?does just that.

All in all, the money was put to good use and we?re grateful they came back to tell us how the money was used.

The 3 chosen charities for the evening were as follows:

We create a well-balanced, individualized, integrated, and intensive program for each student, designed to prepare them for re-entry into their community school as quickly as possible.

Students with special needs require an Individualized Program Plan (IPP) that builds upon their strengths while remediating or compensating for their learning disorder. Lesson content responds to the needs of each student while adhering to the Alberta Education program of studies

Of the 3 fantastic charities presented last night, the guys chose Oneball Charity to take advantage of the $10k.

We are very excited for them and look forward to finding out how the money helped them reach their honorable goals.
