Husky Reward Cards
This is the easiest of our Fund Raisers. All you have to do is ask us for a Husky Reward
Card and swipe it every time you make a purchase of gas or food at the Husky Stations and
they send us a cheque for 2% of your purchase (except on Lottery or Tobacco purchases). Contact
us today and start swiping. Last year they sent us just over $500.00.
Canadian Tire Money
Each camp rep will accept Canadian Tire Money which we use to purchase much-needed
sports equipment each year. It adds up quickly. Last year we bought $53.00
in new sports equipment.
Quality Market Tapes
We used to collect A. & P. receipts and turn them in for cash.
A big Thank You goes to Betty Gottfred who ran this program for eight years! During that time a
total of $2,762.11 was raised for the camp!!
