Labatt’s gives $20,000 to Hamilton’s Kidz!


Labatt’s generosity and desire to give back to the community will enable City Kidz to continue to impact the lives of Hamilton’s children.   Teaching them the importance of taking responsibility for their actions and grow to become better people as a result, this gift will help in the ongoing objective of transforming Hamilton, one child at a time.

“We are thankful for this generous and most unexpected gift from Labatt’s! It’s a donation we did not solicit or anticipate; truly, it was single-handedly arranged through a long-time friend and supporter of our ministry,” says Todd Bender, City Kidz Founder and Executive Director.

City Kidz Inspires Hope, Instills Resiliency and Impacts the futures of Hamilton’s children each and every week, reaching out to over 2,300 children through City Kidz Saturdays and Home Visits.

Every Saturday, the City Kidz fleet of Big Red Buses pick up over 1,000 kids, provide safe door to door transportation, and bring them to the City Kidz Playhouse Theatre, where they experience a life changing high impact, high energy program filled with games, songs, food, prizes and important life lessons.

Every week, each and every one of their 2,315 children receive a personal home visit from a dedicated volunteer or staff, building relationships, building trust, and impacting futures.
