An Elf sees her Volunteer Work Rewarded
You’ve no doubt heard that our founding elf, Sylvain, was among the 10 finalists for the Concours Gens de coeur, organized by Radio-Canada and Financière Manuvie. As such, the Foundation received a $1,000 donation. However, results of the public vote which were announced April 11th revealed the winner of the 2014 Gens de Coeur Award to be Ms Brigitte McKinnon of the Pure Art Fondation, earning that organization a $20,000 donation. Although, the Elves did not win, the contest did shine the spotlight on our mission and brought us some welcome attention.
The whirlwind of the public voting campaign for Gens de coeur, and the wait for the picture below did not make us forget that Manon’s volunteer involvement and spirit was also recognized this winter.
