We are carrying the torch of a great event EO alumni Nigel Bennetand entrepreneur coach Kevin Lawrence started 7 years ago and are proud to bethe title sponsor. Come and get engaged with the community, bring your staff,your spouse and your children.
We will be heading to the streets as a group to hand out speciallyprepared care packages. This is a chance to see how grateful a fellow humanbeing can be for something as simple as a dry pair of socks, a holidaytreat, spare clothes or even a plastic bag they can use to keep their few possessionsdry. This is a unique opportunity for your children, your spouse and yourkey staff to directly interact with the most challenged neighbourhood in Canada. We arenot here to change lives but are hopeful to simply brighten a day during adifficult season for many in this community.
