MILLARDS Why Not Youth Centres - Announcement

Millards Chartered Professional Accountants is proud to announce their largest single donation in support of a local organization. At an event on Tuesday February 11 2020 at the Brantford office, Millards made a $250,000 pledge to Why Not Youth Centre, a local organization that has demonstrated their effectiveness in tackling some of Brantford’s most pressing social challenges. Millards’ pledge will provide Why Not with operational funding of $4,167.00 per month for five years. Celebrating their 100th anniversary this year, the Millards sponsorship represents the firm’s dedication to Brantford and the downtown core. “This is a milestone year for Millards,” says Darin Cleary, Partner at Millards. “We are celebrating 100 years of service to our community and our clients. We are especially passionate about our city and the downtown and so it’s only fitting that our biggest philanthropic project to date is in support of an organization that has done so much for those in need around us.” According to Cleary, Why Not Youth Centre has a track record of success and a viable plan for the future. “Its’ programs are already having a positive impact on Brantford. Why Not has demonstrated a drive and determination to make a real difference. We wanted to provide a foundation of sustainability so the organization could focus on delivering services.” Conceived in 2002 by Charlie and Sue Kopczyk, Why Not Youth Centre operates a busy drop in centre, visited hundreds of times each month by local homeless and at-risk youth. Using team mentorship and a responsive programming approach to youth engagement, Why Not works hard to empower young people so they can overcome the challenges they face and move toward functional, healthy adulthood. “Providing a support community to these young people is of vital importance,” says Cleary. “By meeting basic needs like safety, food, belonging, and helping them to find shelter, Why Not helps youth find the essential stability for moving forward with their lives instead of being swept away by crisis.”
