Inspiring Young Performers for a Meaningful Cause
Toronto-based all-girl pop rock group Girl Pow-R will headline the Funtastical Fair on May 11th, a SickKids Hospital fundraiser supporting pediatric cancer research. This inspiring event will take place at the Markham Fairgrounds and aims to bring the community together through music, family fun, and charitable giving.
Group member Maya shared her personal connection to the cause:
“When I was sick, I know SickKids did everything they could to make me feel better. There are kids just like me at SickKids right now who can use the fundraiser’s money to get better.”
Girl Pow-R’s Ongoing Commitment to Causes
Since their formation in 2017, Girl Pow-R has actively supported important causes. Their debut single was released during Ontario’s Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week, where they also spoke at an anti-bullying forum at Cardinal Ambrozic Catholic High School. Manager Dawn Van Dam emphasized their mission to provide young audiences with positive role models.
