Board Member

When your kids are born, their dreams become your dreams. Ours, Ryan and Lauren, dreamed big and expensive – to the tune of $50,000 each just for annual university tuition in the U.S. For a couple of school music teachers living in Canada, this was a seemingly impossible challenge. It’s time to get in touch and team up, make a lasting impact on people’s lives, and make sure no family gets left behind!
