Status Team Members Participated in Pink Shirt Day Feb 24th

Pink Shirt Day was founded just a few years ago by some caring high school students, to bring attention to the prevalence of bullying in our children’s lives. We can support the cause and help raise awareness of anti-bullying campaigns, by wearing a pink shirt - or anything pink – on the designated day.

Matthew’s House is a Respite Center located in Abbotsford. Since November 2013, the house has provided individualized care to children with complex medical needs. This home away from home provides children with a safe and state of the art facility while their families take time to rest and rejuvenate. Every other year, the Giving Gala raises funds to support the house’s development and operational costs, This year, the Giving Gala will take place on September 12th 2015. The event plans to raise money for the creation of a multisensory playroom which can allow the house to expand  its services to children with  behavioral outbursts.  A service which would allow the house to expand its   impact in the Fraser Valley.
