AbitibiBowater Donates to Cancer Organization
Each year, Camp Quality’s volunteers have a daunting task. The non-profit organization strives to raise $100,000 in donations yearly, a sum of money that goes to their annual summer program for kids afflicted with cancer.
Indeed, any donation can go a long way in helping them reach their goal.
On Monday, it seemed that Camp Quality’s efforts were not in vain, as AbitibiBowater’s Thunder Bay sawmill operation donated $5,000 to the organization. The mill was able to donate the money because of their achievement of having no recordable injury after 250,000 hours of operation. The $5,000 safety prize was awarded by AbitibiBowater’s board of directors.
According to Clara Butikofer, a volunteer at Camp Quality, the donation has made the organization immensely happy and will definitely help in putting up the summer camp program. She commented that every year the camp draws in over 100 children, and providing them with food and other necessities for the duration of the program requires a lot of funds.
The camp, she said, isn’t about finding a cure or researching the cause behind cancer. She points out the goal of the camp is to give these sick children a cause to be truly happy.
