BCHL and Shaw Team Up Once Again to Support Local B.C. Charities With Brighter Communities Initiative
March 16 2022 - 11:00AM
Shaw Communications Inc. and the B.C. Hockey League are teaming up
once again to bring back Brighter Communities powered by Shaw – a
text-to-donate initiative supporting local charities in B.C.
communities.
For the second year in a row, each of the 17 Canadian BCHL teams
are partnering with a local charitable organization that is working
to make a difference in the lives of children and youth in their
community. Beginning today until May 31, fans can make a $10
donation to support their team’s charity by texting a unique code
to 41010. A list of the teams, their chosen charities and
respective codes can be found online at bchl.ca/shaw.
“We are thrilled to once again work with Shaw on this campaign
to raise money for local charities in our province,” said Chris
Hebb, BCHL Commissioner. “Last year’s initiative was a major
success, and we look forward to raising even more funds this year
to help kids and families in our communities.”
Shaw will match every donation made dollar-for-dollar, up to
$3,000 per charity – doubling the amount of money raised for each
charitable organization.
“We started the Brighter Communities initiative with the BCHL
last spring as a way to help keep the community connected, and to
support the organizations that were facing immense fundraising
challenges due to the pandemic,” said Chethan Lakshman, Vice
President, External Affairs, Shaw Communications. “This year, we
are excited to continue working with the league, the teams, and all
of the fans to raise more money for these charities and celebrate
the start of the Shaw BCHL Playoffs in just a few short weeks.”
