Things may have seemed like they were a bit slow lately because of the holidays, but they haven’t been! There are countless opportunities to get involved so feel free to contact me with questions, as you can take on as much or as little commitment as you want. It may just be agreeing to run a fundraiser at your own school!
Let me know if you are interested!

Earlier in the year, Sony Music Canada was thinking about donating money to KACH. They agreed to put 1/3 of the proceeds from their Christmas fundraiser event toward KACH which will all go back to the Flemingdon and Thorncliffe Park areas. This is really exciting because it shows, once again, Sony Music’s commitment to the community. The result of this was a donation of over $7,000 to KACH and Food Banks Canada!
Think about getting your parents to do a fundraiser at their work, or, run one at your school! Whether you’re one person running a bake sale or a company as big as Sony donating money like they are, making a difference is making a difference!
Christmas is in 30 minutes! I can’t believe it! Christmas this year will be fun for me and a lot of other fortunate children, but for many kids it is not the case. Not everyone has the luxury of indulging in a whole assortment of the newest video games. This Christmas season will be special for me. Just turning 14, I have had the chance to mature and I now understand the complex dimension of the season of buying, as our commercial brainwashing has taught us. This should be the season of giving. We shouldn’t complain just because we only got the Blue Obey hat and not the Red one just because our parents decided to use that money to save for our educations. We should be grateful for what we have and we should put ourselves out there somehow to support the less needy, to give them a voice when they don’t have one, to make their holiday season a merry one. This Christmas season will be special for me for two reasons. One is that I have found someone who is special to me and I hope stays in my life forever. Two is that I was in a successful holiday show for Danforth Tech, an acting agency is interested in me and me and my good friend Jeremiah are busy and dedicated currently creating an entry for The Sprockets Jump Cuts Film Festival. Maybe I am not bound for fame and fortune when I’m older, but I couldn’t care less with all the great friends and people I have in my life. If I do get that fame, then I will be an activist for the unjust and I will use those added privileges to help out the less fortunate, the people who have the hearts of gold but cry the tears of pain. This holiday season use that power you have to do the right things.
