The SharoKen Fund was established in 2022 by Sharon Pekrul and Ken Moore as a way to give back to causes they care about.
Sharon had a career in the inner-city as a teacher/school administrator and change agent in support of Public Education. She is supportive of animal welfare, having spent 9 years on the Winnipeg Humane Society Board. Ken worked most of his career in telecommunications marketing. He is an advocate for sustainable housing for all, and a long time Family selection committee member for Habitat for Humanity Manitoba and a recent member of the Village of Dunnottar Sustainability Committee.
Together, they aim to support individuals and families experiencing poverty in building self-determined, sustainable lives. They support organizations that nurture healthy and safer communities; promote initiatives that create equalizing opportunities for all peoples; and promote clean environmental initiatives. As Sharon battled Cancer since 2007, they also support funding Cancer Care Manitoba.
Gifts to this fund will be pooled and invested. A portion of the generated income will be distributed to registered charities. As the original gift remains invested, your contribution will continue to benefit our community in perpetuity.
Sharon and Ken thank you in advance for your support.
