Annual Report 2014-15 MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO & BOARD PRESIDENT When we think about the work of Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs over the past year, we have many reasons to celebrate. We have a strong interest and role to play in ensuring that all children and youth grow to be happy, healthy, successful adults. We provide safe, supportive places for kids to belong. Our programs and services encourage healthy living, personal growth, learning and community involvement. We are committed to providing opportunities for children, youth and families in all areas of the valley. Diane Entwistle CEO In 2014-15, we embraced the strategic directions of Strong Clubs, Strong Voice and Stronger Together. When our clubs are strong, we can help children and youth to realize their potential. We can engage children and youth in quality programs that make a difference. We achieved another 3 year accreditation through CARF International, which is a testament to our high quality programs and services. We can provide safe and engaging environments. As one of our members said recently, “ "I just never know what to expect, but I feel so good when I am at my Club." When our voice is strong, we can be loud and proud about what we do. We have much to be proud of. We give voice to those who don’t have one, or whose voices aren’t being heard. We are speaking up about real issues that impact children, youth and families, including the importance of having a safe place to go after school, or to sleep at night. We are speaking up about the need to improve the physical and mental health of children and youth, and provide families with the supports they need to help raise their children to be happy, healthy and successful adults. Rod Pacholzuk Board President BOARD OF DIRECTORS ROD PACHOLZUK President ED EGLI Vice-President TREVOR JAHNIG Treasurer PAT REITER Secretary SHAWN WYLIE Director LARRY THOMAS Director JACK ALLARD Director LINDA CALLAHAN Director When we are stronger together, we can work as a team, with our community and a growing number of businesses and supporters who are investing in their communities through us, and our ability to reach children, youth and families. It is by working together that we can truly make the largest difference. We have had so many people join with us this year, including Home Depot, Kal Tire, Capri Insurance, Telus, McDonalds, Rogers Youth Fund and Canadian Tire Jumpstart. We held our first Annual Pink Shirt Day Breakfast, where Krafty Kitchen and Raymond James were instrumental in making the day a huge success. Each day, more than 1,000 members come through our doors, and participate in our programs at our 36 service locations. Collectively, our staff team and volunteers have worked very hard to make a difference in their lives. Every child, youth and parent, is greeted by one of our team of staff and volunteers, and welcomed. That’s where it starts. We would like to thank not only our staff and volunteers, but also our Board of Directors, who with a steady hand, have provided guidance and sage advice over the past year. We are truly grateful to be a part of such an outstanding group of people, and such a great organization.

This was a club where they wanted to be every week and participated in activities - old or new. Leading this club and seeing the change in the children was a privilege to be a part of.” —Robyn, Leader of Torch Club Lake Country Boys and Girls Club “I love learning to cook and doing the ingredients myself! When I get to eat what I make is the best part!” —Kia, member, Lake Country Boys and Girls Club "I just never know what to expect, but I feel so good when I am at my Club." —Malayssia, member of Vernon Boys and Girls Club “As a working parent I was concerned about leaving my child with caregivers for the majority of the day, but have been fortunate to find a place so well-structured, caring and in-tune with my son's needs” — Sarah, parent of a member at the Cameron Park Daycare We Are The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs have been leaders in the Pink Shirt Day movement since 2009. Pink Shirt Day originates from Nova Scotia where two young men stood up to bullying in their high school. A new student was being bullied and was harassed even more when he showed up at school wearing a pink T-shirt. In support, these two young men went to a discount store and purchased 50 pink T-shirts. They enlisted fellow students to wear the pink shirts at school to support the new student who was being bullied. Pink Shirt Day was launched from this powerful act of solidarity and it has made its way across Canada.This initiative has been a huge success. In Vancouver, the 2008 call to make a statement against bullying by wearing pink met an overwhelming response from schools, unions, nonprofit groups, employers and politicians. Thousands of people wore pink as they made their way to school or their workplace. The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs have sold thousands of pink shirts every year. This year, Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs joined the provincial and national movement to share the Pink Shirt Day message – "Stand Up Against Bullying", on February 25, 2015. Pink shirts were sold through pinkshirtday.ca and local London Drugs stores to support the efforts of organizations like Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs in providing a safe, secure place where children, youth and their families can belong. Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs also introduced and hosted the 1st Annual Pink Shirt Day Breakfast Fundraiser presented by Krafty Kitchen + Bar with guest speaker Alvin Law who shared his message about bullying and rising above adversity. Tickled Pink to Stop Bullying! This enormously successful event was held at the historical Laurel Packinghouse in Kelowna. Over 200 people enjoyed a gourmet breakfast provided by Krafty Kitchen, coffee from McDonald's and tea from David's Tea. Glitz N' Glam did a fantastic job in decorating the room for this special event. The highlight of the event was guest speaker, Alvin Law, who despite being born with no arms as a result of the Thalidomide drug, and being abandoned as an infant by his birth family, was adopted by foster parents who nurtured him, teaching him to use his feet for hands. In doing so, they gave him the gift of freedom. Today, Alvin has gone on to be an award-winning musician, bestselling author, and business owner. He shared his personal experience of being bullied and what he did to overcome and be the strong successful person he is today. As people left the breakfast they were given a beautifully decorated pink shirt cookie from Kaleena’s Cakes. It was a sweet way to wrap up a great morning supporting Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs and the Anti-Bullying campaign! As an added bonus, that afternoon children were brought in from many of our clubs and other organizations to hear Alvin speak about resiliancy. All in all it was an impactful day focusing on a subject that affects so many people.
