If you're planning a trip to Walmart in your near future, you may want to consider going tomorrow (June 28
th) when the company shows its gratitude for 20 years in Canada.
Tomorrow (Saturday), Walmart Canada is celebrating its 20th anniversary in Canada by holding Supporting Families in Need Day in Walmart stores across the country. Walmart Canada will host barbecues and interactive activities to raise money for its charities. Customers will also be asked to 'round up at the register' with additional proceeds split evenly between Walmart Canada's three charitable partners: Children's Miracle Network, Breakfast Club of Canada and the Canadian Red Cross. Walmart Canada will then match the funds raised, up to $100,000.
Supporting Families in Need is designed to have national scope and local impact by supporting the three national charities. Walmart is the top corporate sponsor of the Canadian Red Cross and money contributed through Walmart's annual campaign provides the reliable, dependable funding needed to support Canadians when disaster strikes.
As a thank you, the Canadian Red Cross showed the impact donations have on Canadian communities in this video:
