Tigris supplied 3 athletic brand ambassadors to assist our client at the Canadian Tire National Skating Championships Jan. 22-23rd. This year, the event was held in Halifax at the Scotiabank Centre. Our staff were responsible for raising fan excitement towards the Teddy Bear Toss.
In the main concourse, two large Teddy bear bins were set up, filled to the rim with stuffed animals. Fans were encouraged to donate $2.00 towards Jumpstart to receive a stuffed animal to throw on the ice for their favourite skater. The Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charity is an amazing organization that helps thousands of kids from families in financial need get involved with sports.
Below are a few testimonials from those who donated:
- “It’s for a great cause; we know how expensive sports can be.”
- “My kids absolutely love these!” – This skate fan bough 25 bears!
- “I’m happy to donate because it is for such a great cause.”
- “You guys are doing a great job, keep up the good work!”
- “I believe that every child should have the opportunity to learn how to skate.”
Our athletic brand ambassadors had an amazing time helping out with such a worthwhile cause. They even ran into Elvis Stojko, a three-time World champion, two-time Olympic silver medalist, and seven-time Canadian champion!
