Shoe box campaign

The shoe box campaign is a yearly event that provides gifts for a school with children in tougher situations. It's a surprise for the kids, and watching them open their gifts, full of joy, is such a privilege.

YESS fundraiser

In partnership with the City of Edmonton Youth Council, we organized a fundraiser to raise money for YESS (Youth Empowerment & Support Services), specifically for bus passes. Having the ability to travel around town is  tremendously helpful for at-risk youth, in terms of going to the doctor, attending job interviews, incidentally going to work, or for other needs. We were able to raise over $10,000.

United Way

United Way is another organization dear to my heart. Often perceived with negativity, United Way is a powerful organization that offers meaningful support to people in need. It's important to me to mention that they exceed the CRA's (Canadian Revenue Agency) "non-profit regulations" by 50%, in regards to their financials. Very little money goes to the organization, and they indeed deliver that money in our community through various programs & community partners. I spend my time with them to advise the Cabinet, with a committee focused on how to engage the "millennial generation".
