Crisis Centre receives grant from Pink Shirt Day!

Posted by & filed under News.

The Crisis Centre is ecstatic to receive a $35,100 grant for YouthInBC.com from Pink Shirt Day, a campaign organized by CKNW Orphans’ Fund.  Along with 10 other organizations, the Centre has received funding to continue YouthInBC.com, our online crisis chat for youth 25 and under.

The funds were raised from sales of Pink Shirt Day T-shirts through London Drugs and PinkShirtDay.ca, personal donations and corporate support including a large donation from presenting sponsor Coast Capital Savings.  As a result, $350,000 was raised to support youth programs in the Lower Mainland.

The Crisis Centre thanks CKNW Orphans’ Fund and all supporters and donors of the 2015 Pink Shirt Day campaign.
