My Story…
It's that time of year again where we raise funds for Cole's school Giant Steps. Giant Steps is a school & therapy centre that builds the skills and abilities of children with autism through academics, specialized therapies, life skills and inclusion. Cole has been attending Giant Steps for the past four years and has been thriving
This year's fundraising has a special meaning because the York Region District School Board has stated they will end their relationship with Cole's school which means the school will close effective the 2021 school year. We are fighting the decision because this school not only needs to remain open but expand across all school boards.
The marathon fundraising is for this school year, regardless if we end up closing. We suffered a setback with the COVID-19 lockdowns. As a result we could not hold our Raffle fundraiser, nor could our corporate sponsors contribute their regular donations. It's been tough and I know it's been tough for a lot of people this year but if you can find it in your heart and your wallet, please contribute to this great cause.
Thank you, Niki, Shauna and Coley
