Forum for Women Entrepreneurs Gala

Posted by pauloneal

Our Contribution

In 2018, Canadian Mattress Recycling donated over $200 worth of silent auction prizes to the Forum of Women Entrepreneurs’ fundraising gala. We offered our recycling services for this important cause supporting female entrepreneurs.

The Odium Brown Gala

The Odium Brown Gala, where our donation was given, featured three businesses started by women. At the event, they competed for the grand prize: $25,000. Tickets for the event raised money for the charity.

Businesses Squiggle Park, Flytographer, and AVA Technologies pitched their business in front of an audience. In the end, Flytographer took home the $25,000 prize. All in all, the event raised $75,000 for charity.

Watch the highlights from the Gala:

Formed back in 1993, the Kamloops Humane Society has protected dogs, cats, and other companion animals, and enabled them to live healthier, happier lives with their owners. For every dollar the organization receives, 97 cents are spent on veterinary care, pet food, and supplies for these companions animals. The organization is ran by volunteers who are passionate about ensuring that dogs, cats, and other animals are given the loving lives they deserve. In 2017, Canadian Mattress Recycling donated $350 towards the Kamloops Humane Society.
