PRO Kids Aims To Help 1000 Kids This Year

PRO Kids is hoping to reach the $1 million dollar mark for fundraising this year and to place 1000 kids in positive recreation activites.
Manager Tammy Desaulniers tells CHSJ News the guest speakers at the annual dinner are Millrats coach Jaren Jackson and Bobby Hayes of the Joshua Group.


She says they wanted to recognize Hayes for his work in the community and she says Jackson is doing wonderful work with the Millrats and they are very excited the team has come to the city.
Councillor Peter McGuire says he was pulled into PRO Kids a decade ago by Roly MacIntyre and he spent four years on the board and calls the organization a gem in our community.

The PRO Kids "Fun" raising dinner is off to a good start thanks to a $10,000 donation today from the United Commercial Travellers union. The dinner is coming up at the Delta on April 7th.
