On Friday, September 30th Sony Pictures and Crossroads Communications will release the movie COURAGEOUS in theatres across Canada. Filled with action-packed police drama, COURAGEOUS is the fourth film from Sherwood Pictures, the moviemaking ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia. Riveted moviegoers will once again find themselves laughing, crying, and cheering as they are challenged and inspired by everyday heroes who long to be the kinds of dads that make a lifelong impact on their children. UrbanPromise Toronto is pleased to partner with Crossroads and other ministries across Canada to help spread the word through the Christian community about this exciting ministry opportunity.
Protecting the streets is second nature to these men. Being the men, husbands and fathers God created them to be...That's courageous. Please help get the word out!
Several Johnson & Johnson (J&J) employees have chosen to take advantage of the corporate Product Donations Program to provide each UrbanPromise Toronto (UPT) summer camp with a supply of health care and first aid items. This J&J initiative is part of an overall commitment to Caring through Giving which is embodied in their corporate Credo:
"We must be good citizens — support good works and charities and bear our fair share of taxes. We must encourage civic improvements and better health and education."
J&J employee, Paul Mihelcic, was the first staff member to participate in this program for the benefit of UPT back in 2008 when he became aware of the need for first aid supplies at Camp Victory in North Etobicoke. Since then the program has expanded to include all of our camps and the quantity of items provided means that this need is met for the entire year. This kind of partnership between corporations and charities is invaluable.
With a good supply of resources on hand staff know that they can confidently handle the minor bumps and scrapes that are bound to occur when children play.
The Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly based manufacturer of health care products, as well as a provider of related services for the consumer, pharmaceutical and medical devices and diagnostics markets.
