Have you ever been bullied? Think for a second about what that felt like. Some say bullying is simply a part of growing up. The teasing, taunting and social isolation that is a part of bullying is something we at Coast Capital believe should never be a part of someone’s life. Especially for youth. This Pink Shirt Day, let’s all make a difference.
So let’s change that.
We’re proud to present CKNW’s Pink Shirt Day to help bullying prevention programs that encourage positive interactions, and teach kindness and respect.
While Pink Shirt Day is just one day a year that we can all send the message that bullying stops here – the organizations that benefit by the donations raised through Pink Shirt Day fight against bullying every day and deserve some attention. They’re doing amazing things.
Where does the money go from Pink Shirt Day?
All proceeds from Pink Shirt Day go to the CKNW Orphans’ Fund which provides grants to help local non-profit organizations working year round on bullying prevention initiatives including:
- Canadian Red Cross of BC
- Kids Help Phone
- Leave Out Violence Society (LOVE BC)
- YWCA Metro Vancouver
- Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention Centre of BC
Bullying affects everyone.
