Smiles Foundation is a Registered Canadian Charitable Organization, making a difference in over 5.5 million lives for over 30 years. We are honored to be offering two incredible programs at this time: "Dance Sport" and "FitKit" that enhance the lives of children and seniors - two vulnerable communities in need of care and support, especially during these unprecedented times.
Our unspoken motto at Smiles Foundation is: how can we help make today brighter and tomorrow better? How can we assist in making lives for children and seniors more enjoyable, and less terrifying amidst Covid-19?
Our programs are accessible to anyone, including those people living with a form of disability. We always offer seated and standing options in our programs mentioned above. A variety of its emotional, physical and psychological components will make significant changes in all the participants’ lives, as we help them to develop a more active, healthy, and meaningful lifestyle at any age.
A little on our two wonderful and enriching programs: Dance Sport: Our Dance-oriented program is designed in a safe, inclusive, fair and age and ability appropriate manner. It helps children and seniors relate better to each of their respective communities and become more active and engaged with their peers. It covers a variety of Dance Sport dances including, but not limited to Cha-cha-cha, Samba, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, and Quickstep.
FitKit: Our high-quality fitness program focuses on overall body engagement during short interval training performed to music and at a tempo suitable for children and Older Adults, each with their own syllabus and age-appropriate moves! Physical exercise is essential for rejuvenating our body, enhancing our spirit, melting away sadness, and building strong external armour and internal toughness.
Our programs are absolutely essential, especially now at times of sedentary and more isolated lifestyle due to COVID-19 which is making our population gloomy and severely less active. Dance, music, exercise, and human contact, even virtually, bring hope, better health, and increases overall mood.
Absolutely ALL donations received from this beautiful Rotaract x Smiles Foundation fundraising event will go towards achieving our goal of raising $1810.
This amount will help us deliver one FREE program to an underserved public school in the Greater Toronto area. We have several schools awaiting this opportunity.
The more funds we raise, the more schools will be able to enjoy our wonderful programs, free of charge.
