It was important to me to select a charity [for McHappy Day] that was doing work with children.  I met with Reach and I was really impressed with the services and programs they offer to children with special needs. Being a father and having been involved with many charities and sports organizations, I understand the importance of not only raising funds, but raising awareness about the work they do.”

randy_schmidt_and_su_weiczorek_present_cheque_to_reach_dec_2011_web.jpgRandy Schmidt of International Child Care and event volunteer Su Wieczorek (centre) visit Reach preschool and present a cheque to Renie D’Aquila, Executive Director for Reach Child and Youth Development Society from the 3rd Annual Celebrate the Child - Inspire Ability fundraising event.  The event at Tsawwassen’ s South Delta Baptist Church featured a silent auction with donations from many Delta businesses, music from local musicians Christine Magee and Karalee Congo and UBC Professor Tim Stainton speaking on inclusive communities. Guests were also treated to a dinner hosted by local youth athletes from Special Olympics. The event raised $9,064 with three quarters of the proceeds going owards ICC (with a three-to-one match from the Canadian international Development Agency), and one quarter towards Reach’s new building project. With the growing success of the event, ICC and Reach look forward to offering the event again next year.
