The Rokkit youth group of Drayton Valley successfully held their Wake-A-thon on April 17th at the H.W. Pickup Jr. High School located in the centre of the town. With the help of ACE’s Youth Engagement Coordinator Cameron Sault, Rokkit developed, planned, and implemented the entire Wake-A-thon, with meetings reaching as far back as early February.
Rokkit’s mission was to provide youth with positive, fulfilling activities and in doing so, raise funds to benefit themselves and their community. Rokkit definitely stuck to their mission statement by hosting such activities as crafts, movies, Nintendo wii and Rock Band tournaments, cosmetology, sports, cooking, and team building games, just to name a few. Cameron also held a session to educate the youth about the Drayton Valley ACE Youth Support Group that had recently formed with the help of ACE’s coach Toni Lashbrook. Without the support of the adults within the community none of this could have happened.
Congratulations to Rokkit and Drayton Valley!
