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!

Action #4: Will You Join Us on January 24? A Day Without Food

BB4CK — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 21:01:35 +0000

As Part of our 10 for 10 Campaign, Tanya and the Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids Organization will be joining together on action #4.

4.Go for a day without food and tweet about it. How do you feel? Concentration? Mood? Energy? Raise money doing it.

The team will be going for a day without eating to demonstrate their passion and determination for helping kids that would otherwise go without lunch. They will be having conversations all day about how the day is going.

The conversations will be here, on Twitter, Facebook and with the people they come in contact with during the day and beyond…

We challenge you to join in Jan 24 or another day and share how you feel when you go a day (or even a portion of the day) without food.

BB4CK & CUPS One World partner to nurture parents

BB4CK — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 22:52:27 +0000

CUPS One World is a preschool for low income families, working hard to provide the best for their kids. Of the 55 kids in the program, they have chosen 10 to be part of a ‘Nurturing Parent’ Program.

Through care, education, and experience, the program offers, sessions on vital topics for families with young children. These topics range from self acceptance, to guided play, and healthy eating. The facilitators lead group sessions in a comfortable setting, individual supported home visits where they model appropriate play with the children, and the value of sharing a meal together.

Brown Bagging is extremely proud to be part of this program as we assist with funding to ensure these young children received proper nutrition and that community is built among this group to ensure the lessons learned are sustainable.

Talking with Tanya: Stop. Breathe. Trust. Act.
