The PACE Program - Your Support

YOUR SUPPORT

You can help children and families learn, grow and reach their potential

Many people wonder how they can support programs and services in their community. There are many opportunities including offering your time, services or financial support. Some people have specific skills or resources to share while others have ideas of what they hope their financial contribution will provide. As The PACE Program is a registered charity, all donations are tax deductible.

With your support, we can provide additional therapy for children who have experienced loss or trauma.
With your help, we can reach far greater numbers of children and families in our community by providing much needed stability and continuity of services.
With your support, you can help ensure a safe, secure and stable haven for families who have often experienced much unpredictability.
With your help, we can work, in partnership with others, towards preventing the heartbreak and huge financial burden which face our families and society when services are not available.

Please contact Michéle Aderem (Executive Director), Barbara McEachern (Program Director) or Dora Pratt (Financial Director) about your interest in donating or supporting PACE.

Here are some of the ways you can offer your support:

1. Fundraising Projects

a.) Child Therapy
b.) The Building Campaign

2. Volunteers and Individual Support

Thanks to our many “Friends of PACE” who continue to support the program in a variety of ways. We are very grateful for their ongoing support and belief in the agency’s goals.

Please contact PACE if you have an idea of how you would like to support the programs and services offered.

THANK YOU “FRIENDS OF PACE”!

We would like to acknowledge some of our friends over the years and also thank those individuals who wish to have their contributions remain anonymous.

“As a long time Board member, I was first drawn to PACE by its exemplary reputation within the community. PACE has long been known for its exceptional work with children and their families… making a profound and lasting difference in their lives. It is an honour for all of us on the Board to be associated with such an effective, high integrity organization that contributes so meaningfully to the life of our community.”

Suzanne Bolton, Board Member

PACE Birthday Calendars

These calendars are adorned with artwork created by some of the children participating in the therapeutic preschool, ages 3 to 6, and provide a place to make note of the birth dates of those special to you. They are both useful and beautiful and these calendars can be used year after year!

We would like to acknowledge and thank the De Dutch Pannekoek Houses throughout BC for supporting PACE through the sale of “Birthday Calendars” in their restaurants.

PACE Birthday Calendars are now available through the PACE Program!
