We would like to say "thank you" to:

Marg Glendon, Childreach, for supporting our work, helping us help parents navigate the bullying maze, and for being a truly caring woman and friend.

Anya Hleba, Young Adult Librarian, London Public Library, for recognizing the significance of this issue to our youth and doing something about it!

Pauline Cormier, Daisy May Publishing, for continuing to amplify the children's voices and for being our champion.

Grey Worldwide Advertising chose the London Anti-Bullying Coalition to be the recipient of pro bono work. When they were researching the topic of bullying they were astounded at how many suicides are attributed to bullying. They made the serious outcome of suicide the focus of our Public Service Announcement. Watch for this public service announcement on your local station.
