Partners mark 10 years of money and mattress donations
By Alan Wolf, YSN
BrandSource Canada, our group’s affiliate to the north, and vendor partner Sealy Canada marked their 10th year of support for the Ronald McDonald House Charities this past summer.
As they have done each year for a decade, the partners donated $10,000 to the organization, which provides living quarters for families while their children receive medical treatment away from home.
Also supporting the effort is BrandSource Canada parent Mega Group, which last year donated $210,000 worth of mattresses to multiple Ronald McDonald houses, to be matched this year by Sealy. In addition, Sealy and BrandSource have partnered on a new informational website, sealygivesback.ca, and a fundraising page at rmhccanada.ca, where Sealy will match the campaign goal of $10,000.
Mega Group added that all BrandSource Canada members are encouraged to host their own fundraising events on behalf of this worthy cause.
BrandSource, a unit of YSN publisher AVB Inc., is a nationwide buying group for independent appliance, furniture, mattress and CE dealers.
