Project Jack and Jill

airdrielife

Mike and Lori Reist are helping teens in tough circumstances still make their high school graduation night one to remember because they “don’t want them growing up sooner than they have to.”

The parents of five kids under nine years old give us insight into the starting of their two organizations helping outfit teens in tuxes and dresses for graduation, Adopt-A-Grad and Project Jack & Jill.

That’s today on the airdrielife podcast - where we share stories about extraordinary people who call Airdrie home.

Mike and Lori are an inspirational couple, and I’m glad we had the chance to share that interview. You can connect with them by searching Project Jack & Jill on Facebook, or following the handle @projectjackjill on Twitter and Instagram or visiting Projectjackjill.org.

Our intro music was produced by Willy Snypes. You can check him out at willysnypes.com.

The airdrielife podcast is created by Britton Ledingham. Here we take you beyond the pages of airdrielife magazine.

Our goal is to share stories with locals in and around Airdrie about extraordinary people who call this city home. Myself and my journalist colleagues meet all kinds of fun, interesting people we get to write about. This podcast is an exclusive opportunity where you too can learn more about your fantastic neighbours.
