​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 MISSION

At Be a GEM Foundation, our mission is to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive. We believe access to proper nutrition, basic necessities, and education should never be a privilege. Over the past six years, we've contributed more than $100,000 toward scholarships, school breakfast programs, academic initiatives, classroom support, and direct family assistance. Our work includes delivering meals to hundreds of families, providing over 4,000 school supplies, distributing hygiene kits to local shelters, donating books to schools, and awarding scholarships to students dedicated to making a difference in their communities. Through initiatives like our breakfast and produce box programs, we help children start their days nourished and ready to learn. With every meal served, care package delivered, and student supported, we are building brighter futures - one GEM at a time.
