About Friends of Fortis:
Friends of Fortis is committed to the welfare and well-being of students, primarily those seeking access to post-secondary institutions, entering the trades or developing their craft in the arts. The organization provides free dental care and nutritious meals to students who qualify for assistance. Friends of Fortis meet those objectives through fundraising efforts such as the upcoming Friends of Fortis 5K Walk/Run. The event is a joint effort we coordinate in partnership with dance Immersion. While our primary focus is on youth, we recognize the need to create alliances in the broader community. To that end, we have invited like-minded community organizations to partner with us in our effort to foster advancement in education and skills training and invite you to join us at the Friends of Fortis 5K Walk/Run, Sunday, August 17!
