VANCOUVER – As thousands of Telus employees get ready to take part in the company’s eighth annual day of giving this weekend, Telus announced today they are extending the invitation to customers and business partners to take part in the event.
On May 25, almost 13,000 Telus employees and friends will volunteer to help with more than 500 activities all over Canada, such helping at children's hospitals, feeding homeless citizens, sorting thousands of pounds of food bank donations and completing ecological face lifts at community parks.”
From now until June 15, Canadians are invited to show how they give where we live by uploading a photo to Twitter (#givewherewelive), Instagram or givewherewelive.ca. Telus will choose 10 submissions at the end of the campaign and award them $10,000 to donate to a charity of their choice.
“Since its inception in 2006, Telus Day of Giving has mobilized more than 65,465 Telus team members, retirees, family and friends to volunteer at 1,650 activities benefiting the communities where we live, work and serve,” said Telus president and CEO Darren Entwistle in a release. “That adds up to 192,545 hours of painting, gardening, planting trees, landscaping, cooking, serving lunch, sorting cans of food, sewing and much more for citizens in need of a helping hand.”
