Dreams for Kids Campaign

​During the summer, the Edmonton Catholic Schools Foundation has worked on developing a brand that better communicates our commitment to helping the children and youth of our District, especially those in need, while also fulfilling our broader mission of enhancing awareness and funding for Catholic education in Edmonton. Why change our look? Since we’re in “start-up” mode, we want to create a strong visual representation of our purpose. As part of this new branding, you will see us using the slogan: Dreams for Kids. The values of our Catholic School District, as well as the children we serve each day, along with their dreams, are what inspire us. Pope Francis echoed this message while recently visiting a school in Harlem, New York. “You have a right to dream,” he told the children… and “wherever there are dreams, there is joy. Jesus is always present because Jesus is joy.” Our new logo, drafted through the creative efforts of Annette Ferguson and the generous support of Edmonton Catholic Schools, symbolize that reality: INSPIRED by Faith, EMBRACED by Love and EMPOWERED by Hope, Dreams for Kids raises funds in support of the Edmonton Catholic Schools Foundation. Children in our schools often face barriers that limit them from reaching their full potential. In consultation with the District, we have identified five areas of support that will help break down some of those barriers: nutrition programs, emergency funding, recreation activities, mental health support and early intervention through the 100 Voices programs. In addition, we will continue to fund our Champion Project grants for school initiatives. Dreams for Kids is committed to breaking down barriers
