“Two thirds of the Say Yes! to Kids teams reached or surpassed their goals,” says Michelle Hauser, Development and Communications Officer for AFC, “and the remaining third achieved between 50% and 80% of their targets.“ Hauser says each team received a $1,000 AFC Angel Donor match thanks to this year’s $25,000 matching sponsor.

“With these gifts comes our deepest gratitude for your ministry as a Chancellor, as a mentor for new Chancellors, as a wise confidante of Primates and Bishops, and a gentle hand at the tiller of navigating the needs of many General Synod gatherings. We pray that your well-earned retirement will be filled with time to read, rest, and enjoy your West Coast Island home in good health. Thank you from the Anglican Church of Canada.”

“We are tremendously grateful for the support of the Anglican Foundation of Canada,” says The Ven. Cathy Laskey, Episcopal Archdeacon. “By investing in our churches—so that our buildings are safe, accessible, and welcoming—and by driving innovation with their special focus on children and youth through the Say Yes! to Kids program, AFC is not just a dependable partner in ministry, but a visionary one as well.”
