We take the talents of young people and turn them into one-on-one tutors for other adults and seniors in their communities. For example, imagine a 15 year old teaching a 50 year old how to use Zoom to communicate with their family in another country, or a 16 year old teaching an adult who is new to Canada some basic English skills.

The Event To date, Lawn Summer Nights has raised over $3,400,000, generated awareness of cystic fibrosis among thousands of people who had little previous exposure to it, introduced thousands of young people to philanthropy and community engagement, and started a new trend that has taken everyone by surprise (us included!). Founded in 2009, LSN is a nationally trademarked and federally registered not-for-profit organization in Canada. the event is driven by volunteer young professionals who form each city's organizing committee, and supported by a National Manager as well as the Board of Directors. The event currently operates in Victoria, Vancouver, Tsawwassen, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Windsor, Chatham, Simcoe, London, Brantford, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Charlottetown, and Halifax. Each city’s event brings together two hundred people in their twenties and thirties throughout July. The participants arrive wearing fun team uniforms that honor creative team names, indulge in delicious menus of food and cocktails, all while reviving one of summertime’s classic leisure sports: lawn bowling. The Story Eva Markvoort is our inspiration to support Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Eva spent a lifetime battling cystic fibrosis, but made it her life’s work to build awareness and help to find a cure for the disease. Sadly, Eva lost her own fight with cystic fibrosis on March 27, 2010. She was 25 years old. We are proud to be a part of Eva’s legacy and our event will continue to accomplish what Eva championed the most – enjoying life and finding a cure for cystic fibrosis.

The Community Foundation of Prince Edward Island (CFPEI) is an incorporated, non-profit organization that provides a ‘user-friendly’ vehicle for donors to create endowment funds to support charitable activities. Income generated from these investments is directed through grants and scholarships to support a wide range of diverse needs in Prince Edward Island communities. Because of the permanent nature of these endowments, income is available for now and generations to come. The endowment fund allows the donor to leave a memorial legacy to meet their charitable interests in perpetuity, at minimum cost and maximum convenience. Since its incorporation, the Foundation has worked with donors to establish more than 70 endowment funds; these funds now have a current asset base of over 9 million dollars. This asset base has allowed the Foundation to grant over 2.5 million dollars to worthy community projects and individual scholarships since 1993. In addition to providing a vehicle for donors to create endowments, the Foundation also has a broader community building and leadership role. Some examples of initiatives undertaken by the Foundation in this role include: the Arts and Heritage Stabilization Program; the ‘Building the Capacity of PEI’s Third Sector’ Report; and the Vital Signs Report ‘Taking the Pulse of Island Youth’. How we are unique The Foundation is unique in several ways: - We are donor focused; each endowment fund is customized to respond to the interests and needs of the donor. - We are flexible; if the donor interests change over time, the parameters governing the endowment fund can be modified to reflect these new needs. - Our interests and focus are broad; we have the capacity to respond to and support a wide range of donor and community interests. - We are a registered charity; we can issue tax receipts for endowments and donations, including tax receipts for donations from US citizens. Note: Internal Revenue Service (IRS) receipts are of benefit in certain circumstances; US citizens considering making donations should consult with a US tax planner. Who can benefit The Foundation can be of benefit to: - Individuals who wish to honour someone’s legacy by setting up an endowment fund; the fund could be to honour the memory of a family member, or recognize someone who has made a important contribution to his/her community. - Community groups, organizations, and businesses who have a passion about an issue or concern, or a particular area within the Island community. - Professional groups and service providers such as lawyers, financial planners, advisors, and accountants who offer estate planning, tax planning, and financial investment services. The Foundation may be an appropriate vehicle to help clients achieve their financial investment, tax planning, and estate planning goals. - Various levels of governments who find themselves acting as trustees or ‘hosts’ for particular trust or endowment funds; or who wish to recognize the work of a citizen who has made a special contribution to particular initiative, or who has made a significant contribution toward enhancing the quality of life within their own, or the Island, community.

The world is experiencing a crisis of unparalleled intensity. As people across the globe continue to live in isolation, one small but important part of their mental health and well being has been compromised – the ability to exercise. Sport, the great uniter of people and nations, has been pushed to the sidelines, because one of its greatest virtues – bringing people together – is the very thing that we as a society can no longer do. The NBA, NFL and NHL have all cancelled their seasons. Soccer matches globally have been cancelled. Marathons from Tokyo to Paris have been cancelled. The Olympics have been cancelled. But a strange thing has happened. Around the world in every country, in whatever way possible, people are taking to the streets to do the one thing they can do. RUN. New runners, old runners, out of shape runners and runners with disabilities. We can’t run together. But we can run alone, in large numbers. We can put on our shoes and run. On our balconies. In our neighbourhoods, in our living rooms. We can run to preserve our sanity, our humanity. We can run to bring breath into our bodies and to remember what freedom feels like. You might feel helpless in this pandemic. You might feel alone. But by doing the one thing you can do – run – you can make a difference in your community. Join #MyIsolationRun. Run for a minute or 20 or 60. Share your run story. Donate what you can at isolationrun.org. Every hospital across the country is on board. All you have to do is run, choose a hospital, and donate. Every minute you spend pounding the pavement is a minute you could be helping to save a life.
