Volunteers and Supporters

Volunteer Appreciation Week! April 27 – May 3

At Silver Creek, volunteers are the foundation of our success. They bring expertise, passion, and a commitment to service that drives our mission forward. Whether working directly with students, supporting operations behind the scenes, or guiding our organization as members of the Board of Directors, their impact is immeasurable.

This year, we were thrilled to welcome three new volunteers whose energy and fresh perspectives have strengthened our efforts. Together with our long-standing volunteers, they form a community of support that empowers Silver Creek to deliver meaningful programs to those who need them most.

The Impact of Volunteer Contributions

Classroom and Office Volunteers

Every week, 12 classroom volunteers and 2 office volunteers dedicate 44 hours of their time to Silver Creek. Their efforts represent the equivalent of $880 in weekly wages, saving critical funds that are reinvested into programs and services for our students.

Board of Directors

Our 7 volunteer board members are the backbone of our strategic operations, providing expertise in Human Resources, accounting, fundraising, and more. Each board member dedicates a minimum of 10 hours per month, collectively saving Silver Creek at least $90,000 annually in consulting and operational costs.

Just to mention a few organizations who assist us both physically and financially…

Without our many Volunteers, Silver Creek would not be the Pre-School it is today, and we sincerely thank them for the hours and days they spend in the classroom and on the Board of Directors. Volunteers come from many walks of life and their assistance greatly enhances our program. Thank you to Silvia Pollinzi for her Volunteer Coordinator role at Silver Creek.

Royalty General Construction Ltd. is a company with a heart as big as our school. They have been supporters of Silver Creek for over 33 years and take every opportunity to let others know about our program and how to help. They organize and run our largest fundraiser — the Royalty General Construction/Silver Creek Golf Tournament at Nobleton Lakes. We take strength from their dedication to our school. The fundraising of owner, Mark Fazio, and colleague Mike Sheridan has benefited the children and program at Silver Creek immensely.

The Hustlers Young Men’s Bible Class are a wonderful addition to our repeat supporters. Their foundation has enabled us to purchase equipment and services for the children the past 23 years. We are honoured to have this significant support.

This year’s Captain Xavier Fund has resulted in significant response, and we are grateful to Daniela, Lucanor, Marcus and the supporters and organizers of Lemonade for Love Campaign for making it a success. This support allows some of our families access to therapeutic programming at SC.

Toni-yo-yo Run for Fun, is our fundraising campaign that was launched by Andrea Sluga. We are thankful for Andrea’s leadership and dedication to this initiative and her vision to support families at SC. The contribution of the supporters succeeding in reaching this important goal is inspiring.

The following fundraiser will be happening this year again thanks to a generous anonymous donor and 3 young men—Danny Polito, Mike Sheridan, and Jeff Pascoe. They will be raffling off a chance to win Toronto Maple Leaf Season Tickets. We are grateful for this exciting opportunity and hope you are the winner. For certain, the children at Silver Creek will benefit from this special event.

We thank everyone who participates and contributes to the “Move Your Feet for Silver Creek” Walkathon and the Fall Classic Golf Tournament. These are events that are initiated by our Board of Directors and Staff—all in a Volunteer capacity. We need and appreciate your support at these events.

The Pividor Family designed, constructed and donated an amazing sculpture that is our “Wall of Thanks”. Please take a look at “Grazie”, which holds the names of our benefactors – a continuing show of support.

Why Volunteers Matter

Volunteers do more than fill critical roles, they bring heart and innovation to Silver Creek. Their contributions allow us to deliver high quality programs and extend our reach in the community. Without their generosity, many tasks would require additional staff or expensive consultants, which would strain our budget and limit our impact.

To every Silver Creek volunteer,  thank you. Your dedication makes our work possible, your generosity inspires us, and your impact changes lives every single day.
