checkpoint challenges in a race to the finish line all while reliving the great memories of their childhood! Last year,

the event was staged in 13 communities across Canada and generated an amazing $1 million for Boys and Girls

Clubs, improving the lives of Canadian children and youth who rely on Boys and Girls Clubs programs and services.

Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada’s national fundraising event, Capital One Race for Kids, will return

bigger and better than ever this year, with Clubs in 21 cities across the country participating on June 1st.

19th Annual

August 1, 2013Wolf Run Golf Club

President’s Note Greetings on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Foundation. As always staff and volunteers are busy with preparations for a slate of upcoming events, supporting the Club and fundraising initiatives. We look foward to the 2nd annual Race for Kids on June 1, 2013, which had an amazing response in its inaugural run and promises to be a great success again this year. We encourage your participation by either entering a team or as a spectator for this fun and action packed day. The summer also sees the return of the popular Jeff Beukeboom Charity Classic Golf Tournament. These initiatives and others

help to provide the financial support to the Club to continue the quality and financially accessible programming and services for youth in the community. One important program to consider as the end of the school year approaches, are the amazing Club summer camps. These programs provide a safe and fun experience during the summer break for hundreds of kids in the community. We look forward to your continued support from our sponsors, donors and the community of these upcoming events and activities, which all contribute in helping to make the Boys and Girls Club of Kawartha Lakes a “good place to be.”

n To support the annual pledge that the Foundation makes to ensure that all kids will be guaranteed access to the programs and services of the Clubs by keeping fees affordable and by providing subsidized or sponsored memberships.

We ask you to join us, knowing you are investing in a financially disciplined effort that maximizes its dollars to help children. No child is ever turned away because of lack of financial resources.
