General Manager of the local Metro (formerly known as A&P) and member of the Campaign Leadership team for the One Kids Place Capital Campaign Charlie Laing put his money where his mouth is and inspired his staff to get on the OKP band wagon.

For some time now, Charlie has allowed his employees at the store to participate in Dress Down Friday's for a
donation of $2 where they can wear their jeans and One Kids Place t-shirts. The Metro head office matched their $1,000 raised with an additional $1,000 and a donation of $2,000 was presented to One Kids Place Co-Chair of the Capital Campaign, Dr. Joseph Madden Friday morning.
