CanLearn’s Empowering Students Campaign

Purdys 2021 Campaign

This year we are focusing on the students who come to CanLearn. All funds raised will go towards helping a student with ADHD and Executive Function Challenges (EFCs). We want to remove barriers for students who need one-on-one coaching to succeed in school and life.

 

Why are we raising funds?

Here is some feedback from other ADHD Coaching clients:

I’m very grateful for the opportunity to do this. I feel much more confident about dealing with my life. I will be forever grateful to whoever paid for my sessions and I hope to be able to return the favor someday. Thank you again.

Thank you for this service! It’s making a difference:)

There is a long list of people who need this help and they don’t have the funds or access. We need to get these services into more peoples hands that need them. Canlearn needs more funding to provide these services to people who need hope and guidance. It’s a relative small cost up front to help with a greater societal return down the road. Help people up is never wasted time or money.

 

CanLearn earns 25% on each order placed! Our goal is to raise enough to give four students six sessions with an ADHD Academic Strategist. To do that, we need to raise $2400.

 

Order deadline is November 23, and the pick-up of your order from the CanLearn office is on December 9, 2021.
