SCAW = Lynx Cause 2011

As posted on the Lynx Systems Inc. blog, February 4, 2011

Building Lynx Together

For 11 years Lynx Systems Inc. has been committed to the philosophy of working together as a team to make a difference. Like last year, the Lynx team supported the excellent work of Sleeping Children Around the World. Sleeping Children around the world (SCAW) donations provide bedkits to children of any race and/or religion who will benefit the most; typically being located in underdeveloped and developing countries.

No portion of a bedkit donation is spent on administration – 100% reaches a needy child. Each 35$ donation (Canadian Funds) provides a bedkit that consists of a mat or mattress, pillow, sheet, blanket, mosquito net ( if applicable), clothes outfit, towel and school supplies.

Since founding by Murray and Margaret Dryden in 1970, SCAW has raised over $20 million to provide bedkits in 33 countries. In 2009 they reached their one millionth child.

This year Lynx Systems donated 20 BedKits to Sleeping Children Around the World.
