On February 22, 2012, Community Living Wallaceburg will participate in a revolutionary eight-day global giving campaign spanning more than 60 countries around the world. Everyone Gives promises to be the most extensive and inclusive global giving event ever attempted, benefitting more than 600 non-profits around the globe.
This is an easy way for our supporters to donate to Community Living Wallaceburg and to tell their friends and family about why our Agency is important to them. Donating is simple and secure, and contributions made through Everyone Gives go directly to the non-profit selected by the donor. Participants make a small donation, as little as $5, to Community Living Wallaceburg through the Everyone Gives website at everyonegives.org and then tap into their social networks via email, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook to invite friends, co-workers, clients and family to support Community Living Wallaceburg.
One donation becomes five, five becomes 25 and 25 can become hundreds! And you can track your giving tree and your friends’ giving trees on the Everyone Gives website.

Mama Kin – An explosive tribute band dedicated to the music and spirit of Aerosmith, a Boston-based garage band started in the early 1970s that went on to become America’s answer to the Rolling Stones and one of the biggest rock bands of all time. “Mama Kin” rocks, exhibiting the same high energy, elaborate costumes, great stage sets and special effects that Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and the boys are famous for. Mama Kin has toured extensively across Canada and the United States, playing concerts, festivals, bars and clubs. They perform all the hits live from “Sweet Emotion” to “Walk This Way” to “Love in an Elevator”.
