Kimberly Macanuel visited our studios to talk about the upcoming Canadian Tire Jump Start event set for later this month.

Deron: Coming up very soon is a big event for Canadian Tire Jump Start!

Kimberly: Yes, yes! We're really excited for Jump Start this year. It's on May 25th and it's going to be at the parking lot at Canadian Tire from 10am to 2pm.

Deron: Historically there's always been tons of fun things to do for the entire family. What can we expect this year?

Kimberly: We'll have Chase from Paw Patrol and princesses and some of the Red Wings making appearances throughout the day. The fire department's going to be there, the police department's going to be there. We've got a bake sale, we have a barbeque, we'll have a silent auction, raffle, bouncy castles and games, face painting, lots and lots of stuff for families and kids to do.

Deron: That should be an action packed day, then!

Kimberly: It's going to be awesome, and it's for an amazing charity.

Deron: Could you explain what Jump Start does?

Kimberly: The goal for Jump Start is to help overcome financial barriers that families in need may have with respect to putting their children into sports. It is community based, 100% of funds raised within this community stay within this community. Last year we helped 313 children in Weyburn and donated almost $5,000 in community grants.
