Kids Up Front participant
Meet Anthony, Kids Up Front Participant. A child who didn't always have the opportunity to enjoy everything our city has to offer. Thanks to Northlands and their support of the Kids Up Front program, Anthony and many other children like him are able to experience a variety of sporting and entertainment events, like the Black Eyed Peas concert. Kids Up Front is just one of many worthwhile organizations that Northlands has supported for years, because they believe that community comes first.
