The day is ALMOST here! I am so excited to finally share our 12 Days of Giving announcement with you today! We love surprising you – our community – with amazing giveaways and as you may know, we took a year off last year, but 12 Days of Giving is BACK in full force and with a super exciting charitable component that I am SO thrilled about.
So, our team has been hard at work these past couple of months eagerly assembling 12 days of jaw-dropping surprises just for you! In total, we will be giving away 28 prizes valued at over $25,000 dollars CAD!! How amazing is that?!
The focus of this year’s campaign is to align with 12 of our favourite brands and work together as a force for change. Each brand included in the 12 days has made a generous $2,500 donation to the Kelowna Women’s Shelter, bringing our total donation to $30,000!!!! But that’s not all. On top of that, we also have a donation entry option (in addition to our usual entry options), which means we’re offering the chance for our community to give back as well. On each day of the campaign, you can make a donation to the Kelowna Women’s Shelter to get extra entries to win one of these incredible prizes!
The Kelowna Women’s Shelter has been a cornerstone of support for women and children facing domestic abuse in the Central Okanagan since 1980, and this organization is such an integral part of our community. Their services are available 24/7 to women of all ages, backgrounds, and beliefs. They offer a comprehensive range of programs, including two Emergency Transition Houses, a Second Stage Program, Community Outreach, and 24/7 Support Lines. In Canada, 44% of women will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime, with higher rates among women with disabilities, Indigenous women, and those in the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Their unwavering commitment to safety and support has led to a 72% increase in safety and exit planning information provided from 2023 to 2024. I am so proud that this campaign is supporting an organization that makes such an impact in our community, and I encourage all of you reading to learn more about Kelowna Women’s Shelter here!
