![]() 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. “KidsFest continues to be successful because of our community matrix, a powerful combination of businesses, schools, community partners and volunteers committed to the fight to eradicate child poverty in Canada,” says KidsFest’s founder and executive director, Brian Warren. “Loblaw is a very valuable partner in that matrix.”Thank you, Loblaw Companies Limited, for your partnership with us in building healthy minds and bodies across Canada!

| 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.
