Help us raise money

We're running for Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School! Donate to help me raise money to support K-12 students with learning differences. All funds raised will go towards KGMS Student Financial Aid, and all donations over $20 will receive a tax receipt.

Our goal is to raise $25,000 to support Student Financial Aid!

Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School is a non-profit organization located in North Vancouver that supports K-12 students with complex learning challenges. Our specialized program offers students small academic classes with personalized instruction, one-on-one Orton-Gillingham tutoring, a focus on hands-on learning, and social-emotional support. During these uncertain times, our community of students and their families are in need of support now more than ever.

Statistics show that students with learning challenges, who do not receive the support that they need, have a higher risk of dropping out of school, adult suicide, and homelessness. We are determined to ensure that children with these challenges continue to have access to our program, so we can continue to unlock and remove obstacles to their learning, and help them grow personally and experience greater academic success.

KGMS has been serving Vancouver and the Lower Mainland for over 40 years, and is a fully accredited school for students in kindergarten through grade 12.  (Charitable registration #: 11925-4555-RR0001).

By supporting my run, you are:

• Supporting a healthier family life: KGMS assists and eases the heartache and stress that school struggles bring home. We provide in-school OG tutoring and the support and guidance that many families must seek outside of a traditional school environment.
• Supporting the value of education, inclusion and fairness: your donation will provide equitable access for children who learn differently. By donating, you help us continue to provide a safe and comfortable learning environment for our K-12 students.
• Honouring the KGMS teachers, tutors, counsellors and support staff who have made a difference in a child's life, and for the essential work they do every day. You are helping a child understand that they are capable and deserving of a bright future.
  
  Thank you for your donation!
