What Your Support Makes Possible:  ✅ 90% of schools say Breakfast Club of Canada - Club des petits déjeuners Club of Canada helps them build the capacity needed to run reliable, high-impact breakfast programs, providing nutritious meals five days a week. ✅ 85% of schools have met the specific objectives set for their breakfast programs, creating an inclusive, stigma-free environment for all students. These breakfasts go beyond food—they foster community, promote health, and inspire participation. They’re building blocks for stronger futures. How You Can Make a Difference:  🍽️ Donate: Every $5 donation provides a nutritious breakfast for a child in need. Text “BREAKFAST” to 20222 to donate $5, or visit https://lnkd.in/ebHNH8E7 to contribute online. 🚴 Participate: Join the Fat Bike Challenge on March 22, 2025, at the Gai-Luron Center in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec.

The holiday season is a chance to connect with your community on a deeper level, but asking for donations alone may not inspire action. At designACE, we believe a powerful message at the heart of your campaign can turn donors into advocates. We’re proud to support Mobile Giving Foundation Canada (MGFC) and their partners, who are making an impact this season. Take The Snowsuit Fund/Le Fonds Habineige’s 10,000 Snowsuit Challenge, which provided warm clothing for Ottawa kids. MGFC’s text-to-donate service made giving easy—donors simply sent a text to support the cause. Another great example is the Greater Vancouver Food Bank’s WinterLights event, hosted in partnership with Rogers Radio Vancouver. Attendees at the festive drive-thru light show texted a red heart emoji "❤️" to 30333, raising over $16,000 in December 2020. These campaigns highlight how text-to-donate creates seamless, meaningful giving experiences. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 It’s more than just fundraising—it’s about building community, showing donors their contributions matter, and creating a tangible impact. Campaigns like these turn donations into stories of hope and action. 𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 This season, don’t just ask for support—show why it matters.
