Achieve your dreams

Canadian Children's Optimist Foundation

In order to help young people in his region achieve their dreams, Dany Pelletier, from the Club Optimiste de Rivière-du-Loup, took on the challenge of running for 24 hours to raise funds on Friday, May 15. The goal of the "Achieve Your Dreams" project is to finance the sports or artistic participation of underprivileged children.

Breaking the circle of poverty can be difficult. That said, the practice of a sport and the arts contribute to building confidence and boosting their chances of success.

A fundraising campaign has been launched through Go Fund Me, in addition to Dany Pelletier's athletic achievement. The goal is to fund the sports or artistic participation of at least one underprivileged child... but not only in the short term! Perhaps in a few years, we will see a new little Carey Price from the region who will have had his first chance thanks to the Club Optimiste de Rivière-du-Loup.

The current goal is $10,000. The Canadian Children's Optimist Foundation is proud to be the partner of the Club Optimiste de Rivière-du-Loup in this great adventure, through its Outsourcing program. Thanks to this partnership, donors to the "Achieve Your Dreams" project will be able to receive tax receipts in exchange for their donation.
