This BGC Day, Mary Brown's Chicken will endeavor to raise
$100,000 to give back in a big way
and further support BGC Canada's life changing youth
initiatives.
TORONTO, July 29,
2024 /CNW/ - Opportunity Changes Everything as
Mary Brown's Chicken is set to host
their BGC Day, an annual fundraising initiative across all
Mary Brown's Chicken locations, this
Wednesday, July 31, 2024, in support
of BGC Canada (formerly Boys & Girls Clubs of Canada).
Every location nationwide will be donating CAD 2.00 from each meal, feast and combo sold to
support BGC Canada's life-changing work. And in the spirit of
generosity, members of Mary Brown's
Chicken Senior Leadership Team will be visiting a local Toronto BGC
Club to donate warm meals.
Mary Brown's Chicken, a National
Corporate Partner of BGC Canada, also encourages Canadians to make
donations directly through the charity or at coin donation boxes
this BGC Day to help create opportunities for underserved children
and youth across the country.
"This marks our 3rd year celebrating BGC Day with Mary Brown's Chicken and we are deeply grateful
for their continued support," said Owen
Charters, President & CEO of BGC Canada. "Our shared
values continue to shine bright as BGC Day helps us to create
life-changing opportunities for countless children across the
county."
As a BGC Canada partner, Mary
Brown's Chicken is proud to continue supporting BGC Canada.
In fact, since the partnership commenced, Mary Brown's Chicken has raised $544,000 for BGC Canada, $180,000 of which was raised during BGC Day.
Together, Mary Brown's Chicken
and BGC Canada invite Canadians to indulge in their favourite
meal on July 31 to help Canadian
children coast-to-coast realize their full potential through
opportunities and access.
