Newell, along with his wife Maria, chose Reach Child and Youth Development Society as one of the charities in honour of their goddaughter Eva who has Down Syndrome. Eva attended Reach’s Infant Development and Therapies Programs with very positive outcomes, so the family wanted to do something to help other children and their families experience success. Funds from the tournament will help Reach purchase new therapeutic equipment that will support children with Downs Syndrome and other special needs and will be available for families to borrow. Proceeds from the tournament will also go towards Mind Check, a website for children supporting mental health, and Fraser Academy non-profit school for children with language-based learning disabilities. Thanks Kings Links for your support! |
