Current Fundraising Events
The Foundation holds fundraising events to help pay for the annual upkeep of the three Houses of Hope and to raise awareness in the community about the important work the foundation does for youth at risk.
Funds raised also support youth scholarships and activities.
The Brome Missisquoi Youth Foundation always needs new volunteers to help out with its fundraising events. If you are interested in getting behind a good cause and working with other people who care about at-risk youth then please contact us at info@hopespoir.ca.
Please spread the word about the important work that BMYF does for local youth at risk.
