“Giving is okay, no matter how big or how small”
Words from Michelle. See her story…I hope it inspires you.
This is what the Telus Day of Giving is all about…..reaching out to your own community and showing that you care…whatever way that you can.
TELUS wants to inspire and encourage people across Canada to give where they live. They are holding a photo contest and giving away $100,000 to charities across Canada! There are 10 prizes of $10,000 each to GiveWhereWeLive.ca, upload a photo that demonstrates how they are giving where they live (using the hashtag #GiveWhereWeLive) and they’ll be entered into the contest.
May 25th is the Telus Day of Giving.
“What is TELUS Day of Giving? “We Give Where We Live” is the motto that guides our commitment to community investment and supports causes that are near and dear to our hearts. On May 25, 13,000+ TELUS team members, friends and family in 40 regions across the country will volunteer to support these causes and make a positive, heartfelt and lasting difference as they connect in the community. Past years’ activities have included helping out at children’s hospitals, sorting food bank donations and feeding the homeless, to name just a few!”
