Raptors Play Fund
To the excitement of the Children’s Aid Foundation and the children in attendance, the Raptors Foundation for Children presented their donation at the April 5th Knicks vs. Raptors game. Their donation will go to create the Raptors Play Fund which will help provide financial support for children and youth served by the Children's Aid Society of Toronto to participate in extra-curricular sports and recreational activities such as helping to buy hockey equipment and basketball shoes, pay league fees, or help out with dance classes and swimming lessons.
