BOLTON YOUTH DONATES BIRTHDAY MONEY TO FTP
Jacob LaBrier, 11, was joined by his birthday buddies at a special presentation at Empire Theatres in Bolton, where he was given a "thank you" gift from the company, which is partnering with Family Transition Place for its fund-raising film festival Reel Cinema for Real Cause this week. LaBrier asked that his friends give him a small donation for FTP instead of birthday presents. His parents offered to match whatever he raised and together, they've donated $1,000 to FTP. It will be used to support the Raise Respect campaign, which has a goal of raising $1 million for FTP's violence prevention programs. Seen here are violence prevention educator Travis Greenley, Tyler Vander Doelen, Lucus LaBrier, Jamie Sheridan, Nicholas Airdrie, Mitchell Strong, Alastair Wilson, Jordan Milton, Devin Jones.
