Lester's Farm have been a long-time supporter of the REAL Program. Since 2001, their PumpkinFest event has raised over $275,000 for local programs such as the REAL Program and Mount Pearl Sport Alliance. 

“United Way Newfoundland and Labrador is extremely proud to a longtime supporter of the REAL Program. The UWNL mission is to improve lives and build community by engaging individuals and mobilizing collective action. The REAL program aligns with the UWNL funding pillar All That Kids Can Be by providing recreation and leisure opportunities through the provision of program and financial assistance to as many children as possible, who, due to financial circumstances, are unable to participate in registered activities. REAL is an invaluable program that helps break down barriers by covering the cost of registration fees and providing transportation and equipment to families in need. This program is a vital part of community life as it gives many children a great understanding in realizing their true potential. UWNL provided funding 11 years since 2005 totally over $87,000.”

"The Cal LeGrow Foundation is proud to support the REAL program! Providing the recreational placements that are so desperately needed by young people in the city of St. John's".
