Dan Effa of Liquid Capital Pacific Corp. presented a $2,167 cheque to Stepping Stones director Karen Pearson for the Stepping Up Young Dads program.
This gift was contributed as a flow-through donation to the Surrey Foundation’s Community Grants Campaign.
Stepping Stones’ Stepping Up Young Dads program addresses the struggles that young fathers face.
The program’s goal is to stop the cycle of fatherlessness and help young mothers who are raising their children on their own.
The program addresses the struggles that young dads face, is available to all young fathers in Surrey, and supports their practical, emotional, mental, physical and spiritual needs, teaching them how to become committed fathers and play an important role in the lives of their children.
The Surrey Foundation’s Community Grants Campaign was launched in November 2011 with a goal of raising $300,000 to build the community fund, enabling the foundation to respond to pressing social issues as they emerge.
