Devon - Fight against Cancer
|
|
Devon is a young boy in a fight against terminal cancer. Devon's family has been with Devon every step of the way.
Unfortunately, Devon's parents are both young parents themselves, and still in the process of establishing themselves in their lives and careers. Their jobs and insurance do not allow them to take time off work to spend time with Devon in the hospital.
This family's only wish is to not let Devon fight cancer alone. They recently held a fundraising social, and the Kinsmen Club of Winnipeg has donated $2000.00 to their cause.
Our best wishes go out to Devon and his family.

The Kinsmen Club of Winnipeg and the Kinsmen Club of Brandon, using funds from Kinsmen Jackpot Bingo, have donated $25,000.00 to the Brandon Hospital's "A Bed For You, A Bed For Me" campaign.
The Brandon Hospital services the entire city of Brandon, as well as all the nearby towns and communities. It is one of the most crucial health care centres in the region.
The hospital beds in the Brandon Hospital are in dire need of replacement. At a cost of $5000.00 per bed, this is no small task.
We are happy to be a part of this worthwhile campaign.

SOME things were just meant to be. Such as *Bob* *Simmons* being born on the same day that the Kinsmen Club of Winnipeg was formed 81 years ago, and how Simmons has now become the recognizable face of the service organization, by appearing on local television in support of the club's Parkas for the Penniless program.
"People often come up to me and say, 'Hey, I saw you on TV,'" he laughs.
The modest Simmons admits to being unsure about whether or not he enjoys the attention, but he does like the attention that the community-based program and, by extension, the Kinsmen themselves receive.
The Parkas for the Penniless program, which was launched in 1999, works toward supplying needy Winnipeggers with the necessary outerwear for Manitoba's harsh winters. It does so by collecting donations of coats, scarves, gloves and mittens from the general public, bundling them up and delivering them to approximately 20 different social agencies in the city who then distribute them to needy families and individuals.
"We give out about 3,000 parkas per year, on average," declares Simmons.
The Kinsmen's biggest partner in the operation is the Winnipeg Police Service, which got on board in 2001. The Winnipeg Police Service's community policng offices are used as drop-off points for those who wish to donate to the program.
Simmons says that members of the Kinsmen Club then go around to each of the police stations and pick up the donations throughout the program's run, which is usually from early December until late March.
