BBBS of Peel - Campaign For Kids
Posted by David O'Hearn
On June 10th, 10 of our club members attended the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel (BBBS) Campaign for Kids Leaders Breakfast here in Mississauga. This campaign has set a goal of raising $120,000 and the breakfast was sponsored by none other than our own member, Michele Darling, and her Halo Foundation.
The keynote speaker was Craig Kielburger, who started Free The Children 13 years ago. Craig gave a very passionate, very inspiring speech about volunteerism and the importance of community.
We are very pleased to report that $113,000 of that goal has been raised to date, meaning an additional 113 boys and girls can now be matched safely with a Big Brother or Big Sister. If you'd like to donate, please visit www.bbbspeel.com.
