Mesothelioma Golf Tournament

Our clients are at it again, this time fundraising towards the Western Canadian Mesothelioma Foundation, with their 7th annual Golf Tournament.

The BCICA (British Columbia Insulation Contractors Association) Golf Tournament is taking place Friday May 30th 2014. It is not too late to register!

The Travel Group does not have any avid golfers to put up to the golfing challenge so we supported this year with a suitcase full of trinkets for the silent auction.

BC Women's Hospital NICU

This week for Friday's #WineDown we helped raise money for the BC Women's Hospital NICU because of inspiration from Matteo.

 

Matteo was born at the beginning of December and has been in the NICU ever since. Needless to say, family is spending countless hours in the facility praying and willing this little guy to get better. In this time they have see the serious lack of supplies.

 

For example there are not enough glider chairs or any chairs for that matter for the moms to sit in while cuddling their babies.  Nursing pillows which make it comfortable for mom and baby are, as one nurse called them, "gold, if you can get one". The covers, that they have over the baby beds so that it makes the room a little darker for the babies, are old and they need new ones. Such simple things that we would expect would be readily available for the moms and babies are not.  

This week we are raising money so that the moms and babies, can be a little more comfortable while they being taken care of at the NICU.

We Do This Together - Trivia Night

Now is your chance to show off all those random things you know with the 9th annual Trivia Night for Our Lady of the Assumption School

Supporting family is also part of the fundraising goals at The Travel Group, and this event is in support of Colleen.

The Travel Group has donated some trinkets for a table door prize as well as a suitcase for a live auction!

 

This year Our Lady of the Assumption School is raising money for seismic upgrades needed to their school to keep Ella (Colleen's niece) and all the kids safe in case of an earthquake.
