On Oct. 19, the Comox Valley Transition Society received a cheque for $5,000 from Chances Courtenay as part of GatewayGIVES’ 25 Days of Giving in celebration of Gateway’s 25th anniversary in the business of entertainment.
GatewayGIVES is the corporate giving and community engagement program of Gateway Casinos. The 25 Days of Giving campaign will contribute $5,000 to a worthy local charity selected by employees, in each of the communities where Gateway operates. At the end of the October campaign, GatewayGIVES will have donated a total of $125,000 to the deserving, employee-selected, charities across Canada.
“We are thrilled to receive this donation from Chances Courtenay,” said Heather Ney, executive director of the Comox Valley Transition Society. “A donation of this size makes a big difference in our ability to provide services for some of the most vulnerable women, children and families in the Comox Valley. We will be able to provide more practical help and support services because of the generosity of everyone at Chances.”
