By planning an event:

SWB expects great support from both community groups and corporate workplaces that would host events with all proceeds going to make SWB dreams come true.

Fundraising events vary widely across the country and every community finds activities that suit its local flavour.

  • Golf tournaments are popular just about everywhere and curling bonspiels and bowlathons are great fundraisers for the winter months
  • Galas and specialty events are also excellent ways to raise funds and SWB s public profile
  • Gospel Music concert has found to be a good mean to organise fundraising
  • Recyclable material events, collecting recyclable material from your area and sell them and proceedings go to SWB 
  • To support SWB at your workplace, funds can be donated through casual days, raffles/silent auctions and matching gifts programs.
  • SWB needs experienced staff who can assist others getting started. Please your experience in fundraising is very valuable to us! Contact us to help us through.
  • You could also approach local service clubs - such as Optimists, Lions Club or Rotary - to plan an event together using their volunteer resources
  • Through organizing a fundraising event for SWB, you can help raise the funds needed to make dreams come true
  • If you would like information on starting a workplace program or hosting an event in your area, email us at INFOSWBSO@GMAIL.COM       or contact us here
By getting involved as a volunteer:
Volunteers form the very heart of our organization. They give their time and skills not for personal gain or praise, but to make a difference in the world and to bring a little SWB into the lives of Canada’s and Congo-DRC's special children, women, men and peasants.

  • Planning and helping out with a fundraiser such as a golf tournament or children’s art auction, gospel music concert
  • Putting on SWB Ti-Shirts ,
  • Bearing costume and become our mascot for the day
  • Working with a families to present a dream to their child
  • Meeting with local businesses, community groups and media to build support for SWB 
  • Helping keep other volunteers informed of important developments in your community
