Village of Hope Niagara Launches Back-to-School Fundraiser Campaign to Support Over 400 Local Children in Need

Lincoln, ON – As the new school year approaches, Village of Hope Niagara is calling on the community to help ensure that more than 400 local children have the resources they need to succeed in the classroom. Many of these young students are facing the new academic year without basic school supplies or support at home, putting their educational opportunities—and futures—at risk.

“Education is the cornerstone of a bright future, and every child deserves equal access to it,” says Village of Hope Niagara CEO Cheryl Keddy-Scott. “It breaks our hearts to think that children filled with curiosity and potential might be held back simply due to a lack of resources. By joining forces, we can make a meaningful impact and give these students the chance to thrive.”

To rally support, Village of Hope Niagara is hosting a special BACK TO SCHOOL fundraiser: “Elvis Tribute To The King,” featuring award-winning tribute artist Justin Francois. The event will take place on Thursday, July 24th from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Village of Hope Niagara (2540 South Service Rd at 15th Street, Jordan Station). Attendees will enjoy an electrifying Vegas-quality show, delicious food, beverages, and local wines, all included with a donation. Admission is by donation to Village of Hope Niagara’s Back to School Fund, and every contribution helps provide essential school supplies for children in need.

The event will be held outdoors, rain or shine, and all proceeds will directly benefit the

Back to School Fund. Your generosity will provide children with the tools they need to learn, grow, and reach their full potential—empowering them to break free from the constraints of poverty and pursue their dreams.

Join us for an unforgettable evening and help create positive change in our community.

Please, donate today.
