Lowe’s Canada assists Children’s Miracle Network
Lowe's Canada presented more than 1.12 million Canadian dollars (US$837 million) to the Children's Miracle Network and Opération Enfant Soleil following its second fundraising campaign for the causes.
From March 24 to April 30, Lowe's, RONA, Reno-Depot, and Ace Canada corporate stores and participating affiliated dealer stores collected donations from their customers to support 14 children's hospitals across the country.
Last weekend Lowe's Canada also participated in the Opération Enfant Soleil telethon, in Quebec, and the BC Children's Hospital Foundation Miracle Weekend telethon, in British Columbia, to present the organizations with checks in the amount of C$550,000 (US$409,345) and C$83,000 (US$61,774)
"At Lowe's Canada, we are committed to taking concrete action to have a positive impact on our communities. This commitment to making a difference in the lives of our fellow Canadians is particularly evident when it comes to helping children battling illness," said Jean-Sébastien Lamoureux, senior vice president of communications, public affairs, and compliance at Lowe's Canada. "The cause championed by Children's Miracle Network and Opération Enfant Soleil is one that resonates deeply with the some 28,000 employees in our network, and we are proud to do our part by contributing to the annual fundraising campaign of these organizations that play a vital role in the lives of thousands of children and their families."
Over a period of five weeks, employees from participating stores organized various fundraising events, such as special days with guest mascots and benefit barbecues, to raise as many donations as possible in support of sick children.
In addition to mobilizing its network of stores, Lowe's Canada was the official provider of building materials for the Maison Enfant Soleil by Bonneville. Part of the amount contributed comes from the corporate donation made by Lowe's Canada as part of this commitment, as well as from the sale of tickets for the draw to win the Maison Enfant Soleil by Bonneville at participating RONA and Reno-Depot stores in Quebec.
A division of Lowe’s and based in Boucherville, Quebec , Lowe's Canada operates more than 600 corporate and independent affiliate dealer stores in a number of complementary formats under different banners including Lowe's, RONA, Réno-Dépôt, Ace and Dick's Lumber.
