Running and Reading Club Expands

Autumn marks the beginning of change and with a new school year comes the much-anticipated start up of KidsFest Running & Reading Clubs across the country.  Over 1,000 children will participate in this innovative afterschool program, getting physically fit and learning to develop a love for reading through the coaching and encouragement of dedicated volunteers.  
 
This fall, KidsFest is thrilled to announce the launch of three new Running & Reading Clubs in Ottawa, Edmonton, and Vancouver.  Many of the clubs have already begun and are off to a great start, with several others set to commence in the next few weeks.
 
A total of 18 Running & Reading Clubs kick off this fall in communities from Halifax to Vancouver.

Over 1,000 children participating in KidsFest Running & Reading Clubs are off to a healthy start this fall thanks to the generous sponsorship of Loblaw Companies Limited. A donation of $25,000 in President's Choice gift cards will be utilized at program locations from Halifax to Vancouver to provide students with fruit, granola bars and other nutritious snacks as part of our innovative afterschool program.  Hunger is a very present reality in the communities KidsFest serves, and providing nutritious and substantial snacks for our children is fundamental to their growth and success.

On behalf of the kids whom KidsFest serves, we would like to thank our Presenting Sponsor, TD Waterhouse, and our many other Corporate Sponsors, KidsFriends, and patrons, who made the 8th Annual KidsFest Signature Gala in Oakville at the Oakville Conference & Banquet Centre on April 18, 2008 such a great success.  Because of your generosity, we will continue to pave the Pathway of Hope, which is leading Canada’s 1.2 million children who live in poverty into new possibilities.
