Lowe's Canada Makes Donation to Childrens' Charities

 

Lowe’s Canada is proud to announce a $593,631 donation to the Children’s Miracle Network and Opération Enfant Soleil organizations, following a successful initial nationwide fundraising campaign.

“At Lowe's Canada, our purpose is to help people love where they live. Our day-to-day actions are motivated by that goal, and it doesn’t stop at the doors to our stores. We want to have a positive impact on the communities we serve across the country and make a real difference in people’s lives, every day,” said Jean-Sébastien Lamoureux, Senior Vice-President, Communications, Public Affairs and Compliance for Lowe’s Canada. “Through partnerships with 14 children’s hospitals across Canada, the Children’s Miracle Network and Opération Enfant Soleil provide tangible assistance to sick kids and their families. We are pleased to be a major partner of these organizations, which are doing such outstanding work to help children love where they live across the country.”

From April 6 to May 21, Lowe’s Canada corporate stores across Canada, as well as affiliated dealers, took part in an extensive fundraising campaign. Besides collecting donations at checkout, many stores organized events where proceeds went to the charities, ranging from employee breakfasts to benefit barbecues, escape games, and more. Part of the donated amount also comes from a corporate donation made by the RONA banner, which was the official building materials provider for Maison Enfant Soleil signee Bonneville (in Quebec only), and from the sale of tickets for Maison Enfant Soleil signee Bonneville in RONA and Réno-Dépôt stores in Quebec.
