Wellies to Wishes
Dufferin Child and Family Services (DCAF)

DCAF is a multi-service agency providing child and youth mental health, child protection and developmental support services to residents of Dufferin County.

Wellies to Wishes is the primary fundraising event supporting the Dufferin Children’s Fund.  Through sponsorship, ticket sales, auction revenue and other event proceeds, Wellies has raised over $100,000 in five years for the Dufferin Children’s Fund.  Wellies to Wishes is a live and silent auction  at Mono Community Centre on April 18, 2015 at 7pm.  (For more information and to purchase tickets, click here.)

Dufferin Children's Fund has three priorities:

Youth Futures:  to support our youth in their educational pursuits and life goals through post-secondary education, trade apprenticeship programs or job training and employment needs such as tools or equipment.  These funds help youth to make a successful transition to adulthood and reach their full potential to be anything they set out to be.

Child and Youth Development:  to enable children and youth to participate in recreational, creative, social, skill development or educational activities and lessons that would not otherwise be possible for them and that contribute to their development.

Health and Wellness:  to support our children and families in ways that enhance their health and wellness.  This could include purchasing necessary medical equipment or supplies, paying for special nutritional requirements, needed assessments or clinical support. Funds might help parents by providing respite to give families needed breaks from caregiving.
