Red Deer Rebels teaming up to collect toys for kids
From Wawanesa
GET READY FOR THE WAWANESA TOY DRIVE WITH THE RED DEER REBELS
Together with United Way of Central Alberta and local independent insurance brokers, Wawanesa Insurance is collecting toys for kids and sending two lucky fans to the Memorial Cup in Kelowna, B.C.
Whether unwrapping a teddy bear, a fire truck or a stethoscope, there’s nothing like making kids smile during the holidays. This year, Wawanesa Insurance is teaming up with United Way of Central Alberta, the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) and independent insurance brokers to host holiday toy drives across Canada, including right here in Red Deer.
Wawanesa Insurance and the CHL want to give more kids a reason to smile, and they are making it easy and rewarding for anyone to help. For fans heading to the Red Deer Rebels game on November 30, please consider bringing a new, unwrapped toy to donate. Wawanesa Insurance will enter all toy donors into a Grand Prize draw for a trip for two to Kelowna for this year’s Memorial Cup Presented by Kia.
“Happy kids, neighbours helping neighbours, and some of the best hockey in the world – it’s a winning combination to help more Canadian families enjoy this holiday season,” said Selena Hinds, Vice President of Communications and Community Affairs for Wawanesa Insurance. “We are thrilled to partner with the Canadian Hockey League, independent insurance brokers and local charities across Canada on this country-wide holiday toy drive. For us at Wawanesa Insurance, supporting the communities where we work and live is the essence of who we are.”
If someone is unable to bring a toy to the game, Wawanesa has partnered with local insurance brokers to provide people with convenient toy drive drop-off locations:
|
#101 4320 – 50 Avenue | Red Deer, AB |
|
102 4802 – 51 Ave | Red Deer, AB |
