Thanks to the generosity of many companies in the Region, $250,000 was raised during the Food Bank Corporate Challenge on Country 93.3 and ROCK 97.9.
Syncrude was the first to make their annual donation and challenged fellow companies to join them in supporting the Food Bank. This year Syncrude donated $65,000. Suncor, CNRL, Shell Albian Sands, Imperial Oil, Nexen and many other companies put forth their financial support for a combined total of $250,000 raised in 12 hours.
The Corporate Challenge kicks off the 20th Annual Syncrude Food Bank Food Drive. Trucks will be parked outside all local grocery stores, MacIsland and Wal-Mart Friday and Saturday from 9 to 9 and Sunday from 9 to 5.
This year’s goal is to raise enough food to feed more than 800 families.
