Julian Lowley is splitting $13,575 with the Child Development Centre of Prince George.
Lowley’s name was drawn as the winner of the organization’s annual 50/50 Cash for Kids Raffle.
“This provides some really important resources for us to provide support for children that have developmental challenges,” said Executive Director Darrell Roze.
“In particular, we’re looking at children that have behavioural challenges. It’s a growing issue and this is supporting a new program that we’re running.”
The new program is called Mindful Beginnings, which will provide early support to children who are having mental health and behavioural issues.
“A lot of children do struggle with behavioural challenges or social and emotional communication,” said Director of Operations Karyn Hatfield.
“As we’re helping the children recognize their emotions and how to address them, we’re also providing supports to the family members. In the long run too, we’ll also see this benefit school programs with teacher that are having children more balanced in their classroom.”
Hatfield added there’s going to be another raffle in the coming months.
