SAK-APALOOZA 2010

On February 20, we hosted Sak-apalooza at Hextor's Pub. Galactic Butterfly and bORDERLINE put on a fantastic show and got everybody on the dance floor. Thanks to generous sponsors we raised over $24,000. This event is a kick off to Skate, Walk or Wheel a-Kid-to-Camp. All the proceeds go towards camp subsidies.

We would like to thank Gerry David for making this event a success and all of those who purchased a ticket.

BRUNCH WITH SANTA

On December 5, we hosted Brunch with Santa. Approximately 25 families plowed through the snow to join us for this festive event. Everybody enjoyed a tasty brunch and had the pleasure of viewing the animated film, Planet 51. Furthermore, each child received a teddy bear and a hand-knitted toque from our favorite man in red!

We would like to thank Build-A-Bear for donating the bears as well as Audrey Hovis for donating and knitting the toques. We would also like to thank all the families who donated back their family deposit. Your generosity helped us raise $400.

This event is free of charge to our families so the support we received from all our donors and volunteers is extremely appreciated.

The Sibshops program is offered in partnership with Connections Counseling, Calgary SCOPE Society, Renfrew Educational Services and the Between Friends Club. “ Sibshops are best described as opportunities for brothers and sisters of children with special health and developmental needs to obtain peer support and education within a recreational context. “

Call Connections Counseling at 209-1100 for more information and to register.

Programs for 7 to 11, 12 to 14, 15 to 18 year olds.
