2010

The 2010 Sunshine Fund season is off the the races! Twenty six happy campers are already counting down the days until their summer adventure begins. Here at the office we are working hard to make sure the Sunshine Fund is serving our community. Our current projects include an upcoming fundraiser with Sobeys, having Sunshine Fund documents translated into French, designing a new poster and 2010 Manitoba Summer Camps Directory. With your help and support we hope to send 1000 kids to camp this summer.

End of season update: Applicant increase from '07 to '08

The Sunshine Fund saw an increase of over 300 applicants this year as compared to 2007! As of today, we have sent 866 children to accredited camps across Manitoba. Tons of applications were received in June and early July this year- please remember that applications can be sent months earlier, even in the spring, in order to have a better chance at a spot in your child's #1 camp choice.

As all of these children return to school, they will carry special memories, friendships, and skills from camp that will last long after the summer is over. THANK YOU to all the donors who have made this possible!!

Summer 2008

A successful Sunshine Day with A&W kicked of the 2008 season to a great start!!

Our office is currently overflowing with applicants, donations and folks dropping in. But there is still room for more!! It's not too late to get your Sunshine Fund application or donation in. Either way, you will be helping a child have a memorable summer in 2008.

As of July 9th, we have successfully placed 612 kids in accredited camps across Manitoba, with 139 applications to be processed. That's a total of 796 applications received this year!

May 21, 2008 is Sunshine Day

On May 21, 2008, the Winnipeg Free Press Sunshine Fund, in partnership with A&W, will have it’s very first Sunshine Day in Manitoba. All the proceeds from the sale of A&W Root Beer and Coffee will be donated to the Sunshine Fund to help send Manitoba Children to Manitoba Accredited Camps.

In addition, you can also help send a child to camp by purchasing a Ray of Sunshine from A&W Restaurants for only $1 between May 12-21. Fill your name out on a Yellow Sun and help send a child to camp. This sun will be added to the walls of the Restaurant.

This will be happening at all A&W locations in Winnipeg, Selkirk, Lockport, Portage & Steinbach.

PS - Did you know that Manitoba is the only province in the country to have a "Sunshine Fund?" Founded in 1979 and thanks to the generous donations of Manitobans the fund has raised nearly $4.0 million dollars and sent more than 18,000 kids to camp.

"Sunshine" Day - May 21, 2008

The Winnipeg Free Press Sunshine Fund is pleased to announce that with the support of A&W Restaurants, May 21, 2008 will be "Sunshine" Day in Manitoba.

The proceeds from the sale of all A&W Rootbeer & Coffee at all Winnipeg locations and select rural locations, will be donated to the Sunshine Fund to help send Manitoba Children from financially challenged families to an accredited Manitoba Summer Camp.

CJOB will be broadcasting Live-On location from the Pembina Highway & Bishop Grandin A&W location that day.

Support the Sunshine Fund with the purchase of a rootbeer or coffee on May 21, 2008!
