Hello,
Thank you so much for joining us this week for Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada’s Stand Up for Kids Night. On this night we celebrated the achievements of youth from care and recognized the incredible impact of the $75 million (now $100 million!) Futures Transformed Campaign.
Since 2019, with the support of our incredible donors, the funds raised through the Futures Transformed campaign are helping 97,501 children and youth and 21,601 families across Canada. This support is helping strengthen families to ensure fewer children and youth grow up in government care, empower children and youth growing up in care to graduate high school, and help young people transition from care with success. We’re so grateful for your support to the Foundation and the youth we serve.
Congratulations to the Scholarship Recipients and Graduates!
Through the generosity of our donors, over 300 scholarships were presented to students for the 2023-24 academic year including 55 first time applicants. And, 99 youth graduated this year. Congratulations to all the amazing students, scholarship recipients and graduates on their success.
“I want to acknowledge each youth in care across Canada and their stories because every one of them is unique, but so often they go unheard. The Foundation helps give us a voice. To my fellow graduates, congratulations. Take pride in the work that has brought you here,” – Tiago, valedictorian speaker, former youth in care and youth advocate
