Thanks to your hard work, enthusiasm, creativity, team work and passion we have collectively mounted the biggest fundraiser in the history of the Shelter Foundation and the biggest charity garage sale ever in Canada. This year’s National Garage Sale for Shelter has exceeded our wildest expectations – we’ve raised over $300,000! Click here for our latest press release.
In 2009 we were thrilled to raise $120,000 at our first National Garage Sale for Shelter. This year, because of the effort and the generosity of Royal LePagers from coast to coast, we shattered that record to raise more than 2 ½ times last year’s total. In Phil Soper’s words, that’s more than 1 million quarters. And that’s how we all did it – one quarter at a time.
Embraced by the media and the community, the Garage Sale for Shelter was a success on so many levels. Already we’ve seen hundreds of articles in local papers and TV and radio spots across Canada which are generating millions of media impressions. The event has been great for business and has added tremendous value to the Royal LePage brand.
There is one very big winner in all of this… the women and children. That is what fuels us all and is at the core of why we’ve all worked so hard at this event.
Because of you, families lives will be forever changed.
Because of you, kids will be able to sleep through the night and women will be safe.
Because of you, there are hundreds of “winners” in shelters from coast to coast. Thank you on behalf of all of them!
An extra special thank you goes out to our extraordinary sponsors – Atlas Van Lines Canada, TD Canada Trust Mobile Mortgage Specialists and Advance Commission Company of Canada. Their generous support and unparalleled commitment to our cause and your efforts is incredible.
