Fifth Week of May – Sask KofC Charitable Foundation Supporting Youth Services
For this last week in the month of May, the Sask KofC Charitable Foundation is featuring the Rocanville Recreation Centre for Youth. This grant recognizes that youth throughout the province deserve access to recreation spaces and activities to provide safe environments and enhance their development. As stated in last week’s post, our directors are Knights who come from all areas of the province, and we know that many of you donate to and interact with us on many of the projects we fund. Our foundation is pleased to support applications that promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles among youth, and that also strengthen the development of community hubs that are enhancing wellness, inclusion and positive youth development.
The Rocanville Recreation Centre has been transforming the former curling rink over the past few years into a vibrant and well-used facility that hosts a wide range of activities, including pickleball, kids’ camps, walking groups, sewing classes and basketball. One of the most successful initiatives of the centre has been the supervised noon-hour program for students in Grades 7 – 12, offering a safe, positive space to be active, to socialize and to relax during the school day. The program has helped reduce loitering in the town during school breaks as youth in the town choose the Rec Centre as a welcoming, safe and engaging space. In their application, the Rec Centre indicated that their goal is to provide high-quality basketball equipment that would encourage positive social interaction in a popular team sport to bring youth together in a structured, supervised setting.
The Sask KofC Charitable Foundation, through its Grants and Bursaries committee, was pleased to approve this grant application. We at the Foundation are committed to supporting and advocating for efforts that assist youth in our province in developing leadership, creativity, resilience, and community.
Providing Help, Creating Hope
Since 1969, the Sask K of C Charitable Foundation has dedicated itself to creating, administering and advocating for programs and services that help families in need. Through our various programs, we have focused on assisting families to overcome life’s obstacles that threaten their self-sufficiency. Last year, we provided services to many families in Saskatchewan and touched the lives of countless others through our advocacy and convening efforts.
Cash Calendars
The Sask K of C Charitable Foundation has developed a Cash Calendar Fundraiser, with only 5000 calendars being printed. The 2027 Calendar features photos with text from 12 recipients of donations from the Foundation.
The cash calendar will have 64 draws throughout the year with a total payout of $25,000.00 in cash prizes. All Saskatchewan Knight of Columbus Councils will sell these calendars in the province for $40.00 per calendar.
Please contact the Knights of Columbus Council in your community to purchase your calendar and participate in this exciting project.
