​40-ACRE DONATION TO THE TOWN OF KITCHENER

We were incredibly proud to stand beside our father as he donated 40 acres of property, in memory of our mother, to Budd Park, which features baseball diamonds, soccer fields, and the Kitchener Soccer Club. His philanthropic efforts have made an impact on thousands of families and continue to motivate our mission of the Be a GEM Foundation. ​

OUR CONTRIBUTION

Celebrating six years since our founding, we’ve made significant impacts: awarding over $47,000 in scholarships, and contributing more than $15,000 to breakfast programs, academic initiatives, and classroom support. We’ve served meals to over 300 families, distributed over 4,000 school supplies, and provided more than 1,500 hygiene items to local shelters such as the Windsor Youth Centre and Hiatus House. We’ve donated over 300 books to local schools and offered thousands of dollars in gift cards, groceries, clothes, and care packages to families in need.
This remarkable journey has been made possible by our incredible community's unwavering support. THANK YOU! We look forward to continuing our mission and embracing the opportunities ahead.
