Getting dirty for education

FACS-F Logo_RGB_72dpiPost-secondary opportunities are challenging, especially for Crown wards.

Our newest partner, Family and Children’s Services, announced last week selection of 37 youth – current and former Crown wards – for scholarships to post-secondary opportunities.

We’re thrilled for our newest event, the EXTREME Dirty Dash, to support this crucial program. Teams won’t just be competing though the mud and trails on July 13 – the fundraising competition has already begun!
