Last month I had the opportunity to assist in giving a presentation to the employees at
Bell Canada’s headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario.
Along with key staff from the MS Society of Canada’s office in Toronto, we made our way to an awe-inspiring office complex, where we met with some equally awe-inspiring individuals, all of whom were eager to come and talk with us, and to hear how they can help us in our mission to be a leader in finding a cure for multiple sclerosis and to enable people affected by MS to enhance their quality of life.
Bell Canada provides a leading example of how corporations and businesses continue to provide their support and in turbulent economic times. Now more than ever, those who have the ability must step up and lend their resources to those who don’t. It’s time to end MS!
Through their involvement with
MS Society fundraising events, Bell Canada has raised over $8,500 for the MS Walk, and over $38,000 for the RONA MS Bike Tours over the past few years. I intend to do whatever I can to help steward our relationship into the future, and to help Bell achieve even greater successes in our mutual goal of being able to finally end MS! We are extremely grateful for your dedication and generosity.
Moreover, I encourage other corporations to demonstrate this same type of leadership and offer the support. Together, we can make a difference.
Irreverently yours,
Aug, who’s “calling” on you to help make a difference, too...
