Mary’s Meals provides a daily meal at school for children in some of the world’s poorest communities. The meal allows the hungry child to have something nutritious to eat, while enabling children to gain an education, which can be their ladder out of poverty. Our global average cost to feed a child for one year is just $22. At least 93% of donations go towards our charitable activities. For more information on Mary’s Meals visit our website – www.marysmeals.ca or watch this short video clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTq0KHUEK7s

King’s Court Competition Rules:

Teams of 2 may enter to win some excellent prizes. This will be a competitive contest! Two teams compete at one time, and teammates take turns shooting for either 1, 2 or 3 points for one minute. The team with the highest number of points goes on to the next round, until the champion is crowned (and a fantastic grand prize is awarded). Entry is free, but donations are gratefully accepted. Maximum of 16 teams. Teams must arrive by 6:05 pm or they may not be able to compete. To register your team of 2 please email info@marysmeals.ca.
