FROM ME TO WE:
Changing the world,
one goat at a time

WE GOT GOATS!

Join The Vancouver Board of Trade and the Rix Center for Corporate Citizenship & Engaged Leadership to present the inaugural Engaged Citizenship Award to Craig and Marc Kielburger, founders of Free The Children, the world's largest network of children helping children through education. This award recognizes Craig and Marc's dedication to making the world a better place, by inspiring an entire generation to stand up, become engaged and have their voices heard.

At this special event, a contribution from the proceeds will be made to build a school in Africa through Free The Children, as well as to purchase 30 goats to help families and communities in Africa thrive. We will also be selling goats at the event, so you can have a direct impact too!
