MindCare New Brunswick is putting some hard earned dollars to work.

They announced the 12 projects they will be funding with the $142,000 raised from the 2010 Investors Group Skate to Care.

Adrienne Clark was on hand to accept $13,000 on behalf of the YMCA-YWCA Rainbows Program which supports children dealing with death, divorce and other painful transitions. 

She says the money is especially important when you're dealing with kids, because they will grow up to be in the work force and the community.


Other programs that received funding were the Gentle Path Counselling Centre, the Horizon Health Network, Key Industries and Mental Health First Aid.

Planning is already underway for Skate to Care 2011, which will take place on Febuary 12th.
