It's a win-win! Shop4Charity Calendar Sales Support Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation
TORONTO, Dec. 12, 2016 /CNW/ - A 49-year-old Calgary woman is the early bird millionaire winner of the Shop4Charity Calendar Sweepstakes† in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation™ and Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation. She was one of seven Early Bird winners that participated in the draw earlier today.
"I usually try to support local charities," said $1 million cash winner Shari Laubenstein. "If you win, it's a real bonus. The news is still sinking in, but I'll use the money to pay off some debt and help others."
Currently unemployed, married with two-step kids, Shari was being especially frugal this year. However, she was inspired to buy Shop4Charity's Calendar because a good friend was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
Six other participants from across the country received a new car and fabulous all-inclusive Transat trips for two. Winners include:
"Congratulations to today's Early Bird winners," said Bill Bayles, Chairman of Shop4Charity."It's truly a win-win, both for participants and the charities involved. We're especially excited because it's the first year we've offered the calendar for sale right across the country giving people a chance to support an amazing cause and win fantastic prizes all year long."
With a chance to win more than $10 million in cash and prizes in draws throughout the year, 75 per cent of net proceeds from Shop4Charity calendar sales will go to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation™ with all contributions raised in Quebec benefiting the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation.
