Conquer the Tower

The fundraiser that makes the biggest splash! Each fall we invite local community leaders and business owners to take the plunge off the diving towers at the Canada Games Complex. The more money raised the higher they have to jump.

"Pass the Buck" on Giving Tuesday 

Every year over 130 families in Thunder Bay apply to PRO Kids because they cannot afford to pay 
hockey fees. The cost can exceed $2,000.This means without support 130 children in our community cannot be on a team, make a pass, or score a goal.

On Giving Tuesday PRO Kids asks for your help in raising funds through a online campaign, “Pass the Buck”.
