If you came by for a drink last night, thanks for coming out in the rain. We are thrilled to report that our 50/50 total came to $450! Our big winner, Kylene Cheuden of NewAd stood up to accept her $225, and then quickly handed it back to us, giving us a wonderful $450 donation to the kids of The Looking Glass Foundation.
“We are so thankful to the advertising industry folks for helping us raise awareness and lessen the stigma attached to a very real and life threatening illness. Your generosity will help change the lives of families and their loved ones battling this difficult disease. Thank you!” Cindy Dobbe, President, The Looking Glass Foundation.
The money is being spent on workbooks, education tools, DVDs and resources in a new ‘library’ for these children and their families, to help them both understand, heal and cope with the illness in their lives (lookingglassbc.com for more info).
Congrats to door prize winners Nichole, Russ and Matthew.
We will have photos up on the blog this weekend, so stop by again if you have a moment to see some of the highlights. A tremendous thank you to Sue Belisle from The Globe and Mail for the door prizes, to Jimmy's Tap House Staff for just being so damn good at what they do, to Craig Horton for his tireless 50/50 sales efforts, and for all you industry folks and friends who came by for a drink and a laugh.
See you at the next AdDrinx Thursday, September 25th.
