10 for 10: 10 Years, 10 Intentional Actions to do Together

September 29th, 2011 by

Ten years is a milestone. A decade of work and of dedication from the Calgary community. From founders and Board to staff and volunteers, from our kitchen family to our Twitter friends, from families at home to students in school – the reach of ten years of Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids is greater than we ever imagined.

And yet, we’re not patting our backs for being in business for ten years. A wise committee member pointed out, why should we celebrate a decade of kids being hungry?

Instead, we are celebrating commitment and community. The commitment that so many of you have made to make this your problem and the community that has come together in support of our work. A true Calgarian family, a decade in the making.

When a son says to his dad – “I’d like to hold a New Years Eve Art Auction and donate the funds to BB4CK.” What else can a parent do, but say – yes!  Thank you and congratulations, Alex!
