Uniserve Communications ("Uniserve" or "Company") (TSX VENTURE:USS) is proud to
announce that it has donated $10,000 to Family Services of the North Shore.
Family Services of the North Shore ("Family Services") is a nonprofit
organization that has been serving the community for over 60 years. They serve
the City and District of North Vancouver, the District of West Vancouver, Lions
Bay and Bowen Island. They provide counseling, support and education for close
to 7,400 families and individuals, many of whom are victims of abuse.
Statistics show that 35% of girls and 16% of boys between grades 7 and 12 have
been sexually abused. One in seven Canadian children aged eleven to sixteen have
been victims of bullying. Sexual abuse and bullying are just two forms of abuse
that are affecting children today. Family Services help children understand that
they are not at fault and help them feel like they are not alone. Without a safe
place to go, many of these children have nowhere to turn. In many of these cases
of abuse and bullying, the lack of intervention can result in the loss of a
child's life.
Family Services' outstanding work makes our communities a safer and healthier
environment for all. Their annual budget is now close to $3.7 million, of which
$1.3 million is fundraised. Without the generous support of the communities,
this critical support to victims would not be possible.
"The $10,000 Uniserve Challenge" was the Company's commitment to helping its
community partner. This event was held over 10 days in June, 2013 where Uniserve
would match dollar for dollar, on all donations raised, up to $10,000.
In total, this fundraising campaign raised $20,000: $10,000 from donors and
$10,000 from Uniserve. These donations will go directly towards helping children
affected by issues such a sexual abuse, eating disorders and bullying.
Bruce Sanderson, President and CEO of Uniserve stated, "We are so proud to have
been a part of this crucial campaign to help Family Services of the North Shore
continue with their remarkable work. We thank everyone who so generously donated
to this worthy cause. Thank you for your support - we could not have done it
without you."
The Company hosted a Cheque Presentation Celebration at Strut Studios in
Vancouver, BC on July 17, 2013. Uniserve would like to thank Kim Elton of Strut
Studios for providing an outstanding space for this very special event. Kim
Elton is Chief Marketing Officer of Strut Studios and also served as Master of
Ceremonies for the event.
