"Our store is committed to supporting children's causes and raising money for Breakfast Clubs of Canada will ensure that kids get a bright start to their day and their future," said John DiVirgilio, store manager of the Georgetown Wal-Mart. Over the past four years, Wal-Mart Canada's Go Bananas! campaign has helped raise close to $3.5 million for Canada's kids through this initiative. Children who eat breakfast before starting class learn better because they are more alert and better able to concentrate. In Canada more than one million children live in poverty, putting them at risk of starting the day on an empty stomach. For details visit www.breakfastclubscanada.org.
