Kickass Canadians
Giving Back
One of the best things to come from launching KickassCanadians.ca has been the opportunity to engage the community in giving back through various fundraisers. I’ve developed a partnership with CARE Canada, who has been the primary beneficiary of the Kickass fundraisers to date. Below, you’ll find details on the events (plus some other initiatives).
I’ll look for opportunities to organize more fundraisers when I can. In the meantime, I invite you to consider donating to CARE Canada—or any other charity that’s important to you. To borrow from Kickass Canadian Sean Michaels, “go forth and do good.”
