Fifty Women Commit to Raise $25,000 each for Local Youth in Need<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Brava to these Women of Options, including Rebecca Bolwitt Miss 604<\/strong><\/a>! Options Community Services strives to raise $1.5 million for youth falling through the cracks.<\/p>\n

As one of BC\u2019s largest, and most respected non-profit community organizations, Options Community Services<\/em>\u00a0is seeing a variety of unique and critical needs amongst local youth in the South Fraser area.<\/p>\n

In order to support youth, they are launching\u00a0Women of Options 2022: Gamechangers<\/em>, where fifty local women are coming together and committing to raise $25,000 each for a youth discretionary fund.\u00a0These amazing women are a mix of senior executives, impressive volunteers, celebrities, and leaders in their communities.<\/p>\n

Options Community Services\u00a0<\/em>is primarily funded by various levels of government yet is constrained in using funds to support these needs due to the number of youth who require unique support, and the variety of situations that cannot be met within a program or designated funding\u2019s parameters.<\/p>\n

\"heather<\/p>\n

Urgent youth needs that\u00a0<\/em>Options<\/em>\u00a0team members are seeing include paying for clothing or dental work so youth can attend a job interview with pride, covering daycare or tuition costs for a young mother to complete an educational program, getting endangered youth to a safe place, and addressing urgent issues faced by youth who have aged out of the child welfare system and lost their supports.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see youth needing our help to purchase clothing for a mother\u2019s funeral or a young person who needs immediate re-location and support to escape the threat of a gang,\u201d says Christine Mohr, CEO of\u00a0Options Community Services<\/em>. \u201cOur government funding is vital but youth needs are increasing and require immediate action and financial resources. This new fund will help to support at-risk youth with what they need when they need it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Women of Options 2022: Gamechangers<\/em>\u00a0fund will\u00a0remove barriers\u00a0by providing critical funding to work with youth from a wide range of backgrounds, including newcomers, unemployed, street entrenched, pregnant and parenting, those affiliated with gangs, those seeking their high school diplomas, and others.<\/p>\n

Surrey has the largest youth population in BC.\u00a0Options Community Services<\/em>\u00a0supported approximately 3500 youth in their last fiscal year, although this number does not include all of the youth as some fall under programs not included in this data collection.<\/p>\n

The fifty women fundraising for youth are a mix of local leaders, including property management and land development professional Jen Temple.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur\u00a0youth need support and I am passionate about being part of the solution,\u201d says Jen Temple,\u00a0CFO for\u00a0Trademark Group of Companies<\/em>. \u201cI could not imagine my daughter without basic needs and supports and I\u2019m honoured to use my network and skills to help to raise funds.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to these impressive women,\u00a0and\u00a0as\u00a0Options<\/em>\u00a0strives\u00a0to reach the $1.5 million\u00a0goal,\u00a0three Langley\u00a0Tim Hortons<\/em>\u00a0restaurants\u00a0will\u00a0also\u00a0be supporting the cause\u00a0as part of the\u00a0Tim Horton\u2019s annual Smile Cookie<\/em>\u00a0campaign.\u00a0Local corporate partners\u00a0Fifth Avenue Marketing<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Bullets an\u2019 Beads<\/em>\u00a0will also be donating to the cause.<\/p>\n

This is the second year that\u00a0Options Community Services<\/em>\u00a0has led a\u00a0Women of Options<\/em>\u00a0fundraising initiative. The\u00a0Options<\/em> team is impressed and honoured by the commitment and passion that fifty local women bring to the cause to create vital change and opportunity for youth-at-risk.<\/p>\n
