Help Don raise money

For participating in Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Virtual Race 2020

My Story…

Jovenes Adelante helps create a radically expanding future for the youth of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico students by offering access to higher education. Funds raised through this race will go into our Susi Beere mergency fund to support extra student needs as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, or other emergencies. The goal is to raise $10,000 USD. Jovenes Adelante has been a proud partner with Amistad Canada for over 6 years and Canadians have contributed almost $300K CAD to Jovenes Adelante. Please note that only Canadian donors will receive a tax receipt for supporting this event.

Description

For ten years, AMISTAD CANADA (AC) has been working to improve the lives of Mexicans-in-need through health and education Projects delivered in partnership with fourteen Mexican NGOs. 


Projects include: mobile medical-dental service to remote communities; healthy school meals; underwriting medical care for sick and disabled children; supplemental classes in subjects such as literacy, computer skills, English and the arts; primary to post-secondary scholarships; a school for the Deaf; and a therapy centre for children with various disabilities.


AC participation in the Scotiabank Charity Challenge will provide Mexican-Canadians, and other runners who are attached to Mexico, an opportunity to support these initiatives.
