Canada Safeway “We Care” campaign 2008
Canada Safeway’s “We Care” campaign is a unique opportunity for dozens of Alberta’s charitable organizations to engage the public face-to-face, helping raise the organizations’ profiles in the community and significantly adding to operating funds. ILRCC extends a very special “thank you” to Canada Safeway for hosting us at their Dalhousie store during this year’s “We Care” campaign.
Between the beginning of January and the end of March, ILRCC volunteers, board members and staff raised over $15,000.00 with the support of Dalhousie Safeway. On Saturday, March 9th Calgary Alderman Gord Lowe lent his support at one of the campaign’s major weekend events… thanks Gord! And of course, the campaign wouldn’t had done nearly as well as it did without the dedication of ILRCC’s team of volunteers!
The “We Care” campaign wrapped-up with the drawing of two raffle tickets. The first prize, a Nikon SLR digital camera, was won by Mr. Karim J with ticket #224. The second prize, $500.00 in gift certificates for a fine women’s clothing store and a fine men’s clothing, was won by Ms. Shirley M. with ticket #182.
The camera was partially sponsored by Memory Express Computer Products Inc. The gift certificates were partially sponsored by Persona (formerly Crabapple lane) and Mansour’s Fine Men’s Clothing. All three sponsors have stores in Dalhousie Station, located on the NE corner of Crowchild Trail and 53rd Street NW. Persona also has a store in Calgary Place.
ILRCC are grateful for the generous support provided by all three sponsors.
