 Congratulations to Kijana Mitchell, YDCD's 2008 scholarship recipient.
Traditionally, Youth Deserve a Chance to Dream's annual scholarship is awarded to youth entering post secondary educational institutions. Kijana is a musical prodigy attending St. Michael's Choir School in the City of Toronto. Kijana entered the school in Grade 3 after considerable difficulty adapting socially and academically in a regular school program. It was later discovered that Kijana possessed superior academic capabilities; and it was suggested that he would benefit from a gifted program. |

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN. Weather's [hopefully] getting warmer. Want to get back into tip-top shape? This is just the event to help YOU reach that goal while helping some of Toronto's most neediest. For the past three years, we have been offering post-secondary education scholarships to youth who demonstrate a financial need as well as academic aptitude. We hope to continue this tradition. However, we will need additional funds to keep this going. This is where YOU can help. On June 22, 2008, YDCD is holding their 3rd Annual Walk-a-Thon fundraiser to raise money for this cause. Our goal is to raise $3,000. So come walk, run, blade or bike your 5K with us in "Youth Walk for Dreams" and support a good cause. Register online to receive your pledge form. |
