Everyone thinks that Valentine’s Day is a day for lovers and couples but it actually goes beyond that…it’s a day for love in general…all kinds of love! Love for our friends and families and sometimes people we don’t even know. What if I could tell you that this Valentine’s Day you could help make a difference in the lives of many children who need your help?
Come join us for the 1st Annual Mountain of Smiles Valentine’s Day Gala on Saturday, February 14th.
What is Mountain of Smiles Childrens Charity and what are they all about? Allow me to share 😉 .
Mountain Of Smiles Childrens Charity is all about supporting children and families in need within our community and giving back in any way that they can. In the past they’ve hosted toy drives, winter clothing drives and charity golf tournaments. They’ve donated generously to Sick Kids and the Salvation Army, but more recently they’ve looked for ways to reach out to families and children in need within the community. Currently they’ve worked with the Angel Foundation for Learning (a nonprofit organization who reaches out to over 37,000 children in the Toronto Catholic School Board) and they’ve donated hundreds of brand new articles of winter clothing that have helped dress over 100 underprivileged kids from head to toe and keep them warm during the cold winter months. Being there to watch these children choose their jackets and to see the excitement on their faces is a wonderful experience and one that they want to continue to expand on.
Mountain of Smiles has also donated directly to families in need within our community through the Rocky’s Emergency Fund. Rocky’s Emergency Fund was started to help families struggling to cope with a child or children dealing with an illness that requires regular hospital visits, prescription medications not covered by the Ontario Health Care system and daily life expenses.
Their goal for this year’s gala is to raise enough money so that they can continue to empower and support children within the community by providing them with food and clothing. They hope to reach out and help over 500 children in need throughout 2015. They would also like to increase their Rocky’s Emergency Fund so that they can reach out to helping at least 20 families in need. As well as add other initiatives to their charity in 2015 – such as painting and decorating rooms for those families who are struggling and need assistance. This year they will also be tracking all of they initiatives on Facebook so that everyone can see who they are helping and all that we are doing to reach out into the community.
So come and spend your Valentine’s Day in the company of the people you love all while giving the gift of love to those in need.
