Congratulation to Sistering – A Woman’s Place,
winner of the 6th annual Great Canadian Giving Challenge.[distance1]
Each June, CanadaHelps challenges Canadians to donate to their favourite charity where every dollar donated during the month is an automatic entry for the charity of the donor’s choice. In honour of the 20th anniversary of CanadaHelps, this year, the grand prize was increased to $20,000! Congratulations to Sistering – A Woman’s Place in Toronto, Ontario, on winning the challenge.
While we did not win the grand prize, the challenge was a huge success for AHT! We received 15,499 chances in the contest, thanks to the generosity of our supporters. Nearly half of AHT’s donations made were in the last few days of the month when our sweet Rusty suffered a severe colic and was brought to St-Hyacinthe Large Animal Hospital on June 25. Rusty spent two weeks in hospital and came home on July 9, much to the delight of his paddock mate Chocolate and the rest of the AHT herd. He continues to do well.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”13221″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https://www.canadahelps.org/en/giving-life/community-happenings/a-record-breaking-year-canadians-made-the-2020-great-canadian-giving-challenge-great/”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][distance type=”3″][vc_single_image image=”13205″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
