Sponsored by Michael Page International
Toronto, Ontario, August 10, 2009 – Michael Page International, one of the world’s leading recruitment consultancies, is sponsoring St. Alban’s Boys and Girls Club, to provide an opportunity for children to attend the Toronto Blue Jays baseball game at the Rogers Centre on August 18; before the game, the children will be invited to watch batting practice and meet the home players, as well as being given small souvenirs kindly donated by Toronto Blue Jays team.
“Every year Michael Page likes to give back to the community it works within. This year we are very excited and proud to sponsor the St. Alban’s Boys and Girls Club,” says Colin Monk, head of Michael Page Canada. “We tend to focus on helping adults improve their careers, so now being able to help children grow, develop and reach their potential is really wonderful. Many of these children have never had an opportunity to attend a baseball game so we hope we can add a valuable and enjoyable experience to their lives.”
Community programs such as the St. Alban’s Boys and Girls Club are invaluable in helping children with their physical and social development and Michael Page International whole heartedly supports this development. The baseball event has been organized by James Mayo, Director at Michael Page Canada.
