BC dairy farmers are launching a campaign to raise money in support of BC ChildrenB次元官网网址檚 Hospital this holiday season B次元官网网址� and every donation will be matched to a maximum of $100,000.
For the month of December, British Columbians are encouraged to support the fundraising effort benefiting the largest public hospital for children on the west coast. Their sole mission is to provide compassionate world-class health care for all children and families.
To generate awareness about the campaign, BC Dairy created a life-sized gingerbread barn at West VancouverB次元官网网址檚 Park Royal Shopping Centre in early November, and shoppers were greeted with hot chocolate and gingerbread cookies to make the holidays just a little bit sweeter. Following this festive event, a video was created to recap the experience, and it is being used throughout December to inspire viewers to contribute to the cause through donations.
B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e incredibly proud to be a part of such an important initiative,B次元官网网址� says Sarah Sache, a Chilliwack farmer and a board member at BC Dairy. B次元官网网址淭he holidays are all about community and giving back. BC ChildrenB次元官网网址檚 Hospital benefits families throughout the province and is such a worthy recipient of these funds. We encourage any British Columbians who have the financial means to support this worthwhile cause, and BC Dairy will double the impact.B次元官网网址�
