So with the latest film festival underway I had to find a good charity to donate half the profits to.
Last year the films that I showed money was donated to a few charities, IMBA, Canadian Paralympic Assoc., Team Diabetes, and the MS society.
This year I figured that the charity should be about the kids and education. So I contacted, Right to Play, a great organization that uses sport and play programs to improve the lives for children and communities in disadvantaged parts of the world.
What a great cause, and one of the coolest things with this organization is that they have some of the worlds best athletes supporting it. Looking through the list of ambassadors there is a lot of people I have met over the years. One was my childhood ski idol, I think I got about a dozen autographs from him when he was at the Winnipeg ski show when I was a kid, another was one that was coached by my uncle and father when she was starting out ($5 to the first person who can tell me who these two people are).
If you get a chance look at the Right to play Web site and see if you know anyone on the ambassador list.
