Skyline Hosts a Special Day for Special Kids

On Sunday February 27th 2011, Skyline hosted their second annual Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph day at the a Guelph Storm home game in honour of the charity's "bigs" and "littles".  Skyline's  Investors came together to raise funds to put on this great event and donated an additional $2,000 to the charity.  The group enjoyed an afternoon of hockey, pizza and fun from a party suite inside the Sleeman Centre Arena.  Cleo the Clown and her friends helped the young fans show their team spirit with face painting and fun glitter tattoos.  The kids and the volunteers had a wonderful time, thank you again to all of our investors who supported this wonderful event!
