Your Gift. Their Foundation.

Mitchell Purdy came to Families Matter in 2018 to participate in our Be A Great Dad Program. Unfortunately, Mitchell passed away unexpectedly and tragically at the age of 20, leaving behind a one-year-old son. 

To honour Mitchell’s legacy, his mother created the Be A Great Dad Fund to provide subsidies for other young fathers to receive parenting education and support. We invite you to continue his legacy by making a donation to the Be A Great Dad Fund. 

Third-party and corporate fundraisers are an easy way to help support the thousands of families who access Families Matter every year. There’s no limit to creativity when brainstorming ideas for successful fundraising events. 

When you host a fundraiser for Families Matter, your efforts support our vision of a connected community where children and families are nurtured and supported. Your fundraiser can support all of our programs or a single program specifically. Send an email to our Executive Director to start the conversation.
