Boost Boxes Boost Birthday Spirits
KRMC elected to participate in the Boost Box campaign. Boost Boxes are filled with everything needed to give kids a special birthday party. The boxes are provided to families across the GTA who cannot otherwise afford to host a birthday party for their child.
We credit the collaborative effort of Conscious Coaching Inc., Daily Bread Food Bank and Markham Food Bank with spearheading this initiative and allowing KRMC to participate in this worthy cause.
If you wish to build a Boost Box of your own, please contact [email protected] or [email protected]
