London to welcome first in-person annual YOU breakfast fundraiser since 2019 – London | 24CA News

Youth Opportunities Unlimited in London, Ont., is gearing up for its Seventeenth annual Breakfast for YOU this Friday.

The group’s “signature fundraiser” is returning for its first in-person occasion since 2019 and is about to be held at RBC Place London on Feb. 10.

Steve Cordes, CEO of Youth Opportunities Unlimited, mentioned that every one proceeds raised from the breakfast go towards supporting youth programming in London-Middlesex — “basic needs like food security programs, housing support programs, places to come in out of the cold like out shelter, or Youth Action Center, and in places that really help people.”

Last 12 months’s digital occasion raised over $100,000 for the non-profit’s companies, which organizers wish to match once more this 12 months.

Cordes, who’s been with the group for many of its period, mentioned that though it’s “grown tremendously” in dimension through the years, it stays “strongly focused on community and supporting young people within it.”

“We are still true to the cause that we were created to fulfill 40-plus years ago, now we just have a lot more resources to do it in a far more complex world,” he mentioned.

“It’s wonderful to have young people at the heart of the place, keeping us honest, keeping us good, and the community there to support it.”
