Last month we invited you to come check out our holiday photo station at the Big Eddy Winter Market to help raise funds for Community Connections. And Revelstoke, you did not disappoint. With over a hundred photos taken and 90+ Revelstoke Christmas cards distributed, we’re thrilled to announce that this event raised $3000 from the public to support our local food bank. With Tourism Revelstoke matching donations through this campaign, that brings the total fundraised from this evening to $6000!
In addition to this, Tourism Revelstoke was also prepared to contribute more funds in exchange for sign-ups to their marketing newsletter. Once again, Revelstokians pulled through, so we’re sharing an additional $17,000 with Community Connections this holiday season.
We had a great night spreading holiday cheer, pumping up the REVELSTOKE. brand, and meeting locals and visitors from around the world. Stay tuned for our next pop-up photo station fundraiser!
