Mr. Speaker, this is the fourth year that a group of my constituents, Sam Gabbay, Manouk Manoukian and Ralph Nahas, have volunteered to organize a soccer tournament based on the world cup model called “Kids Playing for Kids”.
This name is absolutely perfect, because all the money raised is handed over to Sainte-Justine hospital and the Montreal Children's Hospital. Healthy kids are playing for sick kids. Next year, the men's 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa will serve as the model.
I would like to warmly congratulate all the volunteers who have directly or indirectly helped make this annual event a success.
I would especially like to acknowledge the three founders of this event, to thank them and let them know how much their involvement means to our community.
