All funds to go towards renovating the
Broncos locker room
BOUCHERVILLE, QC, April 14, 2018 /CNW/ - Lowe's Canada, a leading home improvement company
operating or servicing over 630 corporate and affiliate dealer
stores under different banners, is launching a fundraising campaign
to renovate the Humboldt Broncos locker room in the Elgar Petersen
Arena. For the next month, RONA and Lowe's customers across
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba will be invited to donate
$1 toward this cause. Lowe's
Canada will match every dollar
collected up to $10,000.
"I have been in close contact with the Broncos for many years,
and, like many of us in Humboldt,
I felt compelled to help our community heal by taking action after
the tragedy," stated Evan Pronych,
owner of the RONA Humboldt Lumber Mart dealer store and instigator
of this initiative. "Several people within the Broncos organization
and the Humboldt community have
suggested that giving the Broncos a new locker room, which needs
renovations, could help us grieve and, when the time comes, move
forward as a community. We sincerely hope that this is the
case."
"All proceeds raised through this campaign will be used to fund
Evan's project in support to the Humboldt community. We salute him and his team
for this initiative, and thank all employees of our RONA and Lowe's
banners who will contribute to making this project a reality. Like
all Canadians, our thoughts go towards the grieving Humboldt community," said Sylvain Prud'Homme, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Lowe's Canada.
