Supporting Youth Leadership: Fiducia Financial Sponsors Sheldon Williams’ “A Spark of Hope” Campaign

At Fiducia Financial, supporting future leaders, changemakers, and community-driven initiatives is always a “yes” in our books. When the Leadership class at Sheldon-Williams Collegiate reached out with a sponsorship request for their A Spark of Hope campaign, their enthusiasm and purpose were immediately clear.

Their goal? Raise $5,000 for Souls Harbour Rescue Mission to support individuals and families facing homelessness, food insecurity, and crisis. But what stood out most was the heart behind the initiative—young people stepping up with the intention to make a real difference, and inviting local businesses to stand alongside them.

This week, I had the opportunity to join the students and staff at their school pep rally (yes—Jen and I were right there in the joyful chaos!) as they announced the results of their campaign. Their hard work paid off in a big way: together, they raised an incredible $13,307.35 for Souls Harbour.

It was a powerful reminder of what young people can accomplish when they are empowered, supported, and given the space to lead. Their commitment to compassion, teamwork, and community action is nothing short of inspiring.

👏 To the students and staff of Sheldon Williams:
Thank you for your dedication, your leadership, and your belief that change starts with action—no matter your age. We’re proud to have played even a small part in your success and can’t wait to see the impact you continue to make in our community.
