Description

The CJAY 92 Kid's Fund was created in 2000 with a mandate to assist less fortunate families and their children in and around the Calgary area. We've attempted to keep the CJAY 92 Kid's Fund at a grass roots level. It's been used to help build a wheel chair accessible park in Silver Springs, to replace stolen bicycles as well as for our Gerry Forbes Secret Wish which you can hear every Friday at 7:40am. The Secret Wish program began as a Christmas initiative. The holiday season is a difficult time for many families who cannot afford a lavish dinner or presents for their children. CJAY 92 decided to help out by providing toys for the kids, specifically needed items such as winter coats and cash. The challenge is hardship doesn't just occur at Christmas; it's year round. So now we do a Secret Wish every Friday. Listeners nominate families for a Secret Wish who are going through tough times. The families we assist always have children and often are facing bleak circumstances due to illness or disabilities. Since its inception, you and the CJAY 92 Kids Fund have raised over 1 million dollars. 98% of money raised goes directly back into Calgary and the surrounding area. CJAY 92 raises money through donations from generous Calgarians and corporate events like golf tournaments and from fundraisers such as the Champions of Hope Sno-Pitch Tournament, CJAY 92's Charity Rock Auction and Charity Rock Ride. If you would like to make a donation to the CJAY 92 Kids Fund or would like to nominate a family for Secret Wish please email us below. Please ensure you provide your complete contact information. Thank you.
