The Dawgs Breakfast Program makes breakfast available to over 2,000 students who attend Barton Secondary School, Bennetto Elementary School and Parkview Secondary School. With the support from The Grocery Foundation and Quaker, a Division of PepsiCo Foods Canada, the Bulldogs Foundation is committing $225,000 in cash or in kind to the Dawgs Breakfast Program over the next three years. The program began on November 30, 2010 when the Bulldogs Foundation presented a $10,000 cheque to each of the three schools at a press conference held at Bennetto Elementary School. The Dawgs Breakfast Program allows students to start the day with a healthy and nutritious breakfast which will make it easier for students to focus on learning.
