Christmas campaign

IT’S TIME TO BE GENEROUS!

We are back again this year since things are not getting better. As you know, the Montreal Association of Insurance Women (MAIW) has a long tradition of generosity! For many years now, when the holidays are upon us, we have various initiatives such as fundraising, a toy drive and others to brighten up the holidays of children, families and women in need.

A precarious economic environment has contributed to create economic difficulties for many members of our society. Among others, the lack of affordable housing as well as the high cost of food, have forced all of us to change some of our habits. If you are reading these lines, chances are that you are not part of the people who can’t make ends meet or whose situation is precarious.

We are happy to continue our tradition of collecting donations during ourPresident’s cocktail, which this year will take place on November 20, in the offices of Pyrotech BEI and we will also accept your donations through transfers and other means Last year, your response was extraordinary, and we collected in money, toys and other goods, more than $10 000. Encore une fois, nous remercions tous nos généreux donateurs incluant the Summerlea Golf Club who donated 20$ for every participant in MAIW’s annual golf tournament

This year MAIW’s Christmas Campaign will again combine 3 initiatives:

CERF – Centre d’Entraide et de Ralliement Familial – MAIW has partnered with the CERF for many years. The CERF gives more than 150 Christmas baskets, which are comprised of food and toys for the children, to families in need. Once again, this year we will use the moneys collected to buy grocery store gift cards to complement the baskets. All your donations of $50 or more will provide you with an official tax receipt!

Sun Youth – The MAIW has a long tradition of toy drives for Sun Youth and we will be ready to receive your donated toys at our President’s cocktail or we can gladly pick them up if it is more convenient for you

Le Chaînon A new initiative, which was started two years ago, is to fill up hand bags with hygiene and beauty products, as well as treats. These bags are handed out to women who go to Le Chaînon. Last year, we gave away 17 beautiful bags, which were provided by Group ALDOand the bags were filled to the brim with gifts, jewelry, products, etc. This year we are going ahead with the initiative, and we are ready to receive whatever you have for us, handbags and anything to fill them up. Let us know if you have anything to put in these bags! Naturally, money donations are
welcome!

We commit ourselves to highlight all individual donors (with their permission) and corporate donors in our social media and publish the logos of the larger donors in our Bulletin or our Newsletter. If you would like to participate, there are many ways to do it.

You will find below the instructions to make a money donation.

Naturally, any donation whatever the amount, will be appreciated. Also, if possible, it would help us in our planning if you could send us your donation before December 6. It would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to know more, to get involved or for any questions, don’t hesitate to communicate with a member of our Committee.

Thanking you in advance for your generosity!
