PENTICTON–Penticton businesses are being invited to show their support for Fort McMurray.
On Sunday, May 8, LocoLanding Adventure Park will donate over 50 per cent of the proceeds from admission to the Canadian Red Cross.
Other businesses are being asked to do their own fundraising and meet up at 5:00 p.m. to tally the donations.
“In times like this, we shouldn’t just feel sadness for others we need to say ‘what can we do as a community’ and then do something. LocoLanding is simply providing the venue for people to rally and show their support,” says Diana Stirling, owner of LocoLanding Adventure Park.
“We’d like to see every business in Penticton donate a minimum of $50 from Sunday’s sales,” says Michael Magnusson, President of the Penticton Chamber of Commerce. “With over 1000 businesses, wouldn’t that be an amazing show of support?”
Businesses should use #pentictoncares to let the community know what they are offering.
