Purdy’s Easter

Our Purdys Fundraiser begins....NOW! Go get your Easter/Spring treats🍫: https://fundraising.purdys.com/1201349-126262

Last year we raised over $300 with our Easter Purdy’s fundraiser that went right back into purchasing supplies for our programs!💫

This year, our goal is to raise $500 so we need your help—but don’t worry, all the work you're doing is choosing which chocolates to order.

Stock up on beautiful Easter/Spring gift boxes, classic Purdy’s Favourites, Himalayan Pink Salt Caramels, Sweet Georgia Browns and so much more. All profits will go directly to purchasing supplies for our child care programs. So, satisfy those cravings and get all your Easter/Spring gift-shopping done while supporting a great cause. 😊💜

The deadline to order is April 1, 2025

Morquio Syndrome Fundraiser

One of our former students, Simon H, is diagnosed with a very rare, progressive genetic disease called Morquio Syndrome, or MPS IVA. The disease, an uncommon form of dwarfism, impacts skeletal growth and causes a progressive decline in the eyes, ears, and respiratory system. A fundraiser has been set up to help raise money for a Cure MPS IVA fund for Simon and others with Morquio. Working with the Isaac Foundation we know that every penny raised will go towards promising and innovative research to help find a cure and ensure Simon, and everyone living with Morquio, has a long and healthy life! Please learn more and consider donating here.
