CBC’s fundraisers for local charities raise $2.5 million
During the holiday season, CBC focuses on charity drives in many communities across the country. Turns out this past year’s holiday was especially successful, with many locations setting new records. I’ve seen the spreadsheet of all the donations raised from CBC’s audience and in cash and food it exceeds $2,500,000! Some of the more interesting donation successes:
- CBC’s audience in PEI donated 3,218 turkeys. Edmonton brought in more than 7,000! None were dropped from a helicopter
- The Cape Breton Christmas Carol event brought in more than 300 pounds of food donations
- Vancouver’s food bank day raised $500,000 and Calgary’s raised $750,000
