Have a Heart for Kids Sake…a gala evening of dinner, dancing and auction surpasses goal
The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph 14th annual gala fundraiser was held Saturday, February 7, 2009 at Italian Canadian Club. Have a Heart for Kids Sake, presented by Meridian Credit Union, raised more than $48,000, surpassing its goal. With more than 290 guests in attendance, this is one of the greatest net profits in the history of this event. Maureen Cook, Chair of Have a Heart for Kids Sake Committee stated, “Thecommittee worked long and hard in its quest for new and unique auction items and new ways to build excitement. Some of our guests have been attending for many, many years and we wanted to jazz it up a little. I think we were successful and appreciate your help in doing so.”
The money raised will help promote the healthy development of the over 400 children and youth involved in the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph mentoring programs. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph has over 70 children waiting to be matched. 80% of those children waiting are boys who will wait an average of 3 years before being matched with an adult mentor. On behalf of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph, a sincere thank you to the sponsors, the guests and everyone involved in making the event a great success. It is with the support of community friends and partners that the agency is able to make a difference in the lives of the children in Guelph. It was a first class evening enjoyed by all.
February 6, 2010 is the date for Have a Heart for Kids Sake 2010. Mark your calendars now.
