President’s Note Greetings on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Foundation. As always staff and volunteers are busy with preparations for a slate of upcoming events, supporting the Club and fundraising initiatives. We look foward to the 2nd annual Race for Kids on June 1, 2013, which had an amazing response in its inaugural run and promises to be a great success again this year. We encourage your participation by either entering a team or as a spectator for this fun and action packed day. The summer also sees the return of the popular Jeff Beukeboom Charity Classic Golf Tournament. These initiatives and others help to provide the financial support to the Club to continue the quality and financially accessible programming and services for youth in the community. One important program to consider as the end of the school year approaches, are the amazing Club summer camps. These programs provide a safe and fun experience during the summer break for hundreds of kids in the community. We look forward to your continued support from our sponsors, donors and the community of these upcoming events and activities, which all contribute in helping to make the Boys and Girls Club of Foundation Board of Directors Kawartha Lakes a “good place to be.” Emily Avery-Graves, President of the Foundation
