CALGARY — With the Shaw Charity Classic golf tournament resuming play this summer, Shaw Communications is again asking Canadians to “Chip in for Kids” by donating via text to more than 200 kids and youth charities in Alberta.
When last year’s tournament was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Shaw created the Chip in for Kids program as part of its charitable platform Shaw Birdies for Kids to encourage people to continue supporting Alberta charities through the Shaw Charity Classic Foundation.
Starting today through to August 15, Canadians can donate $10 by texting KIDS to 30333. Shaw will match every donation received, up to a total of $150,000.
Donations can be made directly to participating charities by texting that charity’s specific code. Every donation made directly to a participating charity will also be matched by the Shaw Charity Classic Foundation, meaning a $10 donation has the potential to grow into $30 for that charity, says Shaw’s press release.
A full list of charities and their specific text-to-donate codes can be found at shaw.ca/scc. Standard message and data rates may apply.
The Shaw Charity Classic golf tournament is scheduled to take place in Calgary from August 13-15, preceded by the RBC Championship Pro-Am from August 11-12.
