100 Youth Who Care York Region celebrated its second anniversary of giving back within the community by providing a $660 infusion to the Aurora-based Kerry\u2019s Place Autism Services on Wednesday night.
\nThe group of York Region teens met November 21 in conjunction with meeting of 100 Women Who Care Newmarket-Aurora, bringing their total contributions to local non-profits to over $5,700 to date.
\n\u201cThank you so much for making our second anniversary meeting such a successful and inspired evening,\u201d parent mentor Jenny Cooper told supporters. \u201cAlthough the winter weather prevented many of our existing and new members from attending in person, we are so thankful for all their donations via e-transfer and that they were with us all in spirit.\u201d
\n100 Youth Who Care is a local offshoot of 100 Women Who Care and 100 Men Who Give A Damn. Meeting quarterly, each participating youth brings $10 to the meeting along with nominations for worthy organizations, armed with information to make a successful pitch to their peers.
\nFollowing the pitch by three youth after three organizations are drawn at random from a hat, the meeting\u2019s proceeds are collected and donated to the \u201cwinning\u201d organization.
\nWednesday\u2019s meeting was twofold. In addition to raising $660 for Kerry\u2019s Place, Jeannie O\u2019Regan, Vice President of Special Events and Operations at the Starlight Children\u2019s Foundation was on hand to formally accept a $2,000 cheque from the youth on behalf of the foundation \u2013 the spoils of their August meeting.
\n\u201cThe Starlight Children\u2019s Foundation video that Jeannie shared with our group touched all of our hearts and demonstrates the incredible impact our youth\u2019s donation will have on the lives of other youth,\u201d said Ms. Cooper.
\nThe next meeting of 100 Youth Who Care will take place Wednesday, February 27, from 7 \u2013 8 p.m. at the Royal Bank, located at 17770 Yonge Street in Newmarket. In the lead-up to that meeting, the Youth have set a challenge for themselves, recruiting as many other community-minded youth they can to have an even bigger impact on York Region.<\/p>\n
