VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Congratulations to our latest Unsung Hero, Jay Peterson of Vancouver. He was nominated for the award by Carmelita Chan. Take a look at her story about Jay:
Jay has spent years working/training kids (completely unpaid) at the Boxing ring in Britannia Community Centre. I am not a boxer and I do not work for Britannia but I’ve known him for over 25 years and I know that he does this all for free because he has a passion for not only boxing but a passion to help the kids that come to the ring, many of them needing a healthy outlet for their aggressions.
He is the type of person who would not hesitate to do anything to help out a disadvantaged or special needs kid or anyone at all. Basically he’s just a fantastic guy that I think deserves to be chosen as an Unsung Hero.
Alpine Credits is acknowledging Jay with $500 to say thanks. It’s also donating $1,000 to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation.
Everyone knows an Unsung Hero. Nominate yours now by clicking here and give credit where credit is due with Alpine Credits and NEWS 1130.
