Help Kids Play – Thanks to Pedalheads!

Last summer, our Help Kids Play campaign impacted a family at Westcoast Family Centres in a positive and lasting way, providing them with exciting opportunities to spend time outdoors. 

Thanks to the generosity of Pedalheads, an organization that offers fun, adventure-filled swim, bike, trail riding and soccer programs for kids across North America, a family at Westcoast was given a donation of two vouchers for swim programs and camps of their choice in any Pedalheads program in BC. 

Pedalheads offers free camps for kids in underserved communities thanks to their Pedalheads+ program. As understood by many WFC families, endless circumstances can affect families and the opportunities they can provide for their children, despite parents wanting their children to participate in recreational activities.  

Particularly, summer camps and outdoor opportunities may not operate in some neighbourhoods throughout BC, and often many of these camps or activities are out of the price point for vulnerable families.  

Thanks to Pedalheads and their programs, Westcoast children were able to develop skills that will not only be carried with them throughout summer but will also follow them throughout life.  

The next time this family visited a beach or pool – their little ones were ready to ride some waves, and to face any circumstance that came their way!  

Looking to gift new skills like swim lessons to families in need? Get involved with Help Kids Play today by making a cash donation at: Donate – Westcoast Family Centres – Westcoast Family Centres, selecting ‘Help Kids Play’ as your fund of choice. 

We also welcome donations of summer opportunities, camps and gift vouchers for WFC families. Please reach out to development@westcoastfamily.org to coordinate a donation.
