Tomorrow morning you can enjoy a pancake breakfast. A week from today, you can burn off the calories in a fundraising spin class. And all of it to benefit an important agency in Kelowna. For more on what the Foundry is all about, we spoke with the manager in Kelowna, Ben Macauley.

The Foundry offers health services for young people from 12 to 24 years-of-age.  Over the last year, 1,700 young people took advantage of the services offered at the Foundry offices on Kirschner Road in Kelowna.

"If a young person is struggling in any way," said Macauley, "we hope that they can come in and either receive the service here or get connected to the service in our community." 

There are plans to roll-out a mobile unit to reach out to youth from Peachland to Lake Country. The agency relies on community support to offer a wide range of services and over the next week, there are a few opportunities for the public to help. Tomorrow there's a fundraising pancake breakfast at the Kirschner Road location. 

If you're concerned about the extra calories from the pancake breakfast, the solution is next Friday when you can climb on a bike and spin for the cause. 

Macauley said the Foundry's client list just keeps growing. "And over 90 percent of those people are experiencing either high or very high levels of distress in their life," he said. 

The fundraising events are hosted by Christy Lovig and her colleagues at Doak Shirreff Lawyers in Kelowna with the support of the Payton and Dillon Budd Memorial Fund.
