That is why it is so important for all children to have the opportunity to participate in sport, because of what it provides in addition to the fun,香蕉视频直播 said Peter Boyd, owner and operator of Peter香蕉视频直播檚 Your Independent Grocer.
The store will host a kick-off BBQ fundraiser at its Capri Centre locationSunday, July 16, from noon to 4 p.m., to help raise awareness and funds for KidSport Kelowna.
Every donation during Give a Little, Help a Lot will have a big impact, highlighted by the over the $1.25 million raised nationally by the campaign for the KidSport mission since 2009.
Those donations have enabled KidSport to assist more than 5,000 additional children play a season of organized sport in communities across the country during that time.
香蕉视频直播淭he reality is that every year there are still many kids who miss out on the opportunity to play sport because families cannot afford the price tag after they cover the cost of their basic necessities. With the support of partners like Peter香蕉视频直播檚 YIG and their customers, we will ensure that fewer kids are left on the sidelines next season and every single child counts,香蕉视频直播 said Cheryl Browne, chapter chair of KidSport Kelowna.
