Boys and Girls Clubs of Winnipeg and London Drugs are encouraging Manitobans to wear a pink shirt on February 25, 2015 and take a stand against bullying.
Bullying is a major problem in our schools, workplaces, homes, and over the Internet. On February 25, 2015, wear a pink shirt to symbolize that we as a society will not tolerate bullying anywhere. Purchase your official Pink Shirt Day T-Shirt at London Drugs or buy online at www.pinkshirtday.ca. Net proceeds of official Pink Shirt Day shirts support Boys and Girls Clubs programs and services.
Boys and Girls Clubs programs foster self esteem, social engagement, academic success, inclusion, acceptance, respect for self and others, and connection to community—all of which are key elements of bullying prevention. Boys and Girls Clubs of Winnipeg proudly participates in Pink Shirt Day because it promotes awareness, understanding and openness about the problem and a shared commitment to a solution.
“We rely on community support to deliver our daily Club programs,” says Ron Brown, President and CEO, “Supporting Pink Shirt Day supports everyone who has experienced bullying as well as Boys and Girls Clubs of Winnipeg’s anti-bullying programs.”
