Background Information: Funds are generated through local and corporate sponsorships, which is about 80% of the total money raised. The remaining funds are raised through student participation and the silent auction at the annual 3D Children's Society Ball Hockey and Soccer Tournament when we have the three school district communities come together and raise awareness and have kids supporting kids.
Eligibility Requirements: Nominees must be a student in pre-kindergarten to grade 12 from one of the three school districts in and around the Grande Prairie area. The student must be currently receiving medical treatment that is deemed by the nominating teacher/administrator as being serious or life threatening. In the past we have had students with severe diabetes, organ transplants, cancer, osteogenesis imperfecta, Omenn’s Syndrome, and many others.
Funds: Students who are currently receiving treatment will receive $3000 (funds permitting) in pre-paid gift cards plus a special gift. Students who are in remission, but are still in need of regular checkups, will receive $500 in funds at the discretion of the nominating teacher/administrator. These amounts can be subject to change depending on the funds available at the time of the request submission.
Funding Submissions: The teacher/administrator must complete the Google Form entirely to apply for student funding. Form submissions must not be completed by a family member of the applicant.
Funding Use: Parents/Guardians will be required to keep receipts of items purchased with gift cards and must provide them to the 3D Children’s Society upon request.
Please Note: The information on this form will be shared with the 3D Children's Society Funding Approval Committee.
