Crain & Schooley Strikes It Big
January, 2010 - The Ontario Broker magazine
Members of Crain & Schooley Insurance and Financial Corp. in Lanark County strapped on their bowling shoes and struck it big to raise funds for the Big Brother and Big Sisters campaign.
Bowl for Kids, a Canadian tradition from coast-to-coast, is the principal fundraising effort for the majority of Big Brother Big Sister agencies across the country. The three locations in Lanark County – Perth, Smiths Falls and Carleton Place - managed to raise approximately $50,000 for the cause.
Corporate sponsors cover event expenses, so all funds pledged through participants go directly to fund programs. This year, Crain & Schooley insurance Brokers was one of the corporate sponsors, pledging support for the work of this important agency. Crain & Schooley also entered three teams for the event, a great team building exercise for their staff, along with helping to contribute even more money to the cause.
This annual event accounts for approximately 35% of the Lanark Big Brother Big Sister’s annual operating budget. Funds go to help children reach their full potential through consistent, dependable and non-conditional adult friendship.
Over the years, hundreds of children have benefited fom these relationships and adults overwhelmingly expressed their enthusiasm for the friendship they have enjoyed.
