FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - December 21, 2007
SASKATCHEWAN AUTOMOBILE DEALERS ASSOCIATION
DONATES $24,463 TO CAMP EASTER SEAL
Saskatoon, SK: The Saskatchewan Automobile Dealers Association (SADA) has generously donated $24,463 in support of Camp Easter Seal, doubling their contribution from the previous year. The cheque was presented to Albert Pan, 2007 Easter Seals Ambassador, by Paul Savoie, Vice Chairman of SADA, during a special ceremony today at Clavet Composite School. This gift represents proceeds from the second Saskatchewan Auto Show held this past April in Saskatoon.
This is the fourth consecutive year that the Saskatchewan Automobile Dealers Association has directed their support to Camp Easter Seal. A portion of the proceeds will be allocated toward Camp Easter Seal?s Access for All capital campaign. Access for All is a six-year $455,000 campaign to improve Camp Easter Seal facilities and provide greater comfort and enjoyment for nearly 700 people with disabilities who attend Camp Easter Seal each summer.Paul Savoie, Chairman of SADA, said, ?It is important to all of our members to support the communities and province in which we live and do business.?
What does this mean for children like Albert Pan who attend Camp Easter Seal? Albert said, ?This donation will make a big difference.?
Camp Easter Seal is a fully wheelchair accessible residential camp for people with disabilities located on the shores of Manitou Beach near Watrous. Each summer nearly 700 children and adults with disabilities experience all that camp has to offer. Activities such as horseback riding, boating, and quiet moments in the therapeutic garden are highlights for many attending, but most importantly, Camp Easter Seal will provide the opportunity for campers to make new friends and participate in fun activities. The Saskatchewan Abilities Council has operated Camp Easter Seal for over 50 years.
The Saskatchewan Automobile Dealers Association is a not-for-profit membership organization whose members are the new car and truck franchises in the Province of Saskatchewan. Their mandate is to provide a medium through which their members may advance their views on subjects of common interest and advance the interests of the motoring public; as well as to foster, promote, and encourage by all lawful and proper means, those common interests.
The Saskatchewan Abilities Council works with people of varying abilities to enhance their independence and participation in the community through vocational, rehabilitation and recreational services.
