Organizers for Heart of a Champion were pleased to present a cheque for $2,430.00 to the IWK Foundation today as a result of December’s Milk & Cookies fundraising campaign.
Contributions to the fund came from an online auction hosted by Heart of a Champion (HOAC), donations from HOAC sponsor Steele Mazda, donations from HOAC followers, and coin box collections at Steele Mazda.
“We are pleased to be part of this very special partnership with Heart of a Champion and Steele Mazda,” says Keely Wallace, Manager of Community and Corporate Giving at the IWK Foundation. “The Milk & Cookies campaign highlights just how much these two organizations care deeply about the patients at the IWK and helping them ensure they receive nothing less than the best care. For that, we are incredibly grateful.”
The Milk & Cookies campaign funds are designated to help families in the IWK Health Centre over Christmas have a better holiday.
Heart of a Champion wishes to thank everyone who supported the campaign, including our followers and sponsor, Steele Mazda, as well as those that generously donated items for the silent auction: CARQUEST Auto Parts, CheckersToWreckers.com, Greenfield Dragway, Greg Sewart, Riverside International Speedway, Scotia Speedworld, Scotia Tire, and Steele Mazda.
The Milk & Cookies campaign is part of Heart of a Champion’s ongoing effort to raise awareness and funds for the IWK Foundation.
