Corporate Involvement

When was the last time you changed someone’s life?
Boys and Girls Clubs have a long and distinguished history of helping young people across Canada, in fact, we have been providing programs and services for young people for over 100 years – but the majority of Canadians are not aware of how great the need is and how vulnerable our young people are.

On June 1st, 2013, BGCC will give all Canadians an opportunity to have the adventure of a life, and help BGCC give all kids a life of adventure.
In 22 communities across the country, Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada will launch Capital One Race for Kids™. Capital One Race for Kids™ is designed to engage participants across the age and ability spectrum, with a specific focus on the 25 – 35 year old demographic.  The event will also help our Clubs raise funds and awareness so all children have the opportunity to achieve their potential. 

Partner Benefits:
Capital One Race for Kids™ is more than just impressions; our national Race for Kids partners benefit from a fully integrated promotional communication strategy. In addition to receiving the public recognition you deserve and a significant return on your investment, you will also be helping over 200,000 young people.
