Thank you — 2012 Inner City Kids Week raised more awareness, and more funds

May 29, 2012

Supporters in white CLICK T-shirts gathered together at Inner City Kids Week 2012

The CLICK-led 2012 Inner City Kids Week, held May 14–18, was unprecedented in the awareness and funds it generated for inner city kids in Vancouver.

The kick-off on May 14 featured the always exciting Pulling for Inner City Kids tug of war competition. After winning four years in a row, reigning champions King George Secondary were toppled in an epic pull by Britannia Secondary. The Help CLICK Help Kids fundraising reception and silent auction on May 16 brought supporters out to bid on auction items and enjoy the creations of Templeton Secondary's award-winning culinary arts team.

Because of Inner City Kids Week, more Vancouverites are aware of the need to help children and youth living in poverty in our city. And thanks to citizens who care, more than $10,000 was raised during the week for the programs CLICK supports.

A huge thanks to our Inner City Kids Week partner, the Vancouver Police Department, and to our sponsors and corporate donors: Westside Tom Gradecak Realty, the Vancouver District Students' Council, WorkSafeBC, Colourtime Printing, The Vancouver Courier, Choices Markets, Ten Thousand Villages, Hootsuite, and Treen Safety.
