As Chair of the Rotary Club of Belleville's Clowns for Kids Committee, I am excited to announce an exciting new fundraiser for the Friendly City. Run in partnership with Belleville's Santa Claus Parade, Clowns for Kids will give kids the unforgettable experience of dressing up as a clown and walking in the Santa Claus Parade. Each child will also get to attend a pre-parade reception where they will enjoy an afternoon of "clowning around", while they get to pick out their own costume (that they get to keep), and have their make-up done.

All pledges are appreciated and will pool together to support as many children as possible participating in the parade on November 20th, 2022. As well, all monies raised will help support local children's programming such as The Children's Foundation, Food for Learning warm breakfasts, the Quinte Regional Music Festival, Mayors of the Week, Camp Merrywood Easter Seals Camp and school bursaries.

So let's put "Miles of Smiles" on kids' faces and raise as much money as we can while we're at it!

Also, a big THANK YOU to our Corporate Sponsors:

• Belleville Senators
• Camfil - Clean Air Solutions
• Dr. Peterson, Orthodontist 
• Legendz Pub & Grill
