Amici Camping Charity One of 33 top-performing Canadian charities selected by Charity Intelligence
Charity Intelligence Canada has released its sixth annual charity Top Picks report, identifying 33 outstanding Canadian charities. For the second year in a row, Amici Camping Charity has been recognized for its strong track record of producing results for Canadians in need. Charities are selected after passing through a rigorous assessment process and are identified for their high social returns on donations.
"Ci's Top Pick Charities stand out for their leadership, strong management and cost-efficiency and, most importantly, their bottom-line results in getting the job done in helping their clients. Many of our Top Picks are lesser-known, local charities that donors may not be familiar with. We consistently find some of the best giving opportunities that are 'off the beaten track'. Yet their results speak for themselves. These are strong "buys", particularly for donors looking for high impact on their giving." Kate Bahen, Managing Director of Charity Intelligence.

Jays Care Foundation Goes to Bat for Amici
Since 1992, Jays Care Foundation has been empowering children and youth in need. They help them realize their dreams by providing access to programs that support physical activity, education, and life-skill development and what better place to access these programs than summer camp! Jays Care Foundation has generously donated over $50,000 to Amici in the past two years!
This year, Jays Care Foundation invited Amici to participate in the 50/50 Program at Roger's Centre. Amici's 135 volunteers attended 5 Jays games to sell raffle tickets in support of sending more deserving children to summer camp. In addition to their generous financial contributions, Jays Care Foundation invited Amici campers to enjoy a Jays game from their phenomenal Skybox and seeing the excitement on our camper's faces was a testament to the wonderful work that Jays Care Foundation does!
Jays Care Foundation's philanthropic efforts and commitment to children and youth have enabled Amici to continue to grow its program sending 145 children and youth to summer camp in 2011. Jays Care Foundation offers many programs that support children and youth including Field of Dreams, Grand Slam Grants, Home Run Scholars, Rookie League Baseball, and Jays Care Community Clubhouse. Their unwavering dedication has touched the lives of thousands of children setting them on a path to a bright stable future. Amici is proud to have Jays Care Foundation as an Amici supporter.
