Bloomex Supports Make-A-Wish® Canada

TORONTO - Nov. 26, 2019 - PRLog -- Bloomex Canada is very pleased to announce its extended partnership with Make-A-Wish® Canada to help create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

As part of its ongoing support, Bloomex will continue its offering of the "I Care" Teddy Bear available on Bloomex.ca and will continue to donate $5 from the sale of each bear to Make-A-Wish Canada. A donation at checkout will be offered this December, where customers can opt to donate an additional $2 at checkout.

Fifteen percent of purchase price plus $5 per basket will be donated to Make-A-Wish Canada to help grant transformational wishes to children across the country.

"We are very happy to continue our support for Make-A-Wish Canada," says Mark Camphaug, Director of Marketing at Bloomex. "These kids and their families face so many challenges as they deal with critical illnesses. Every wish granted provides a much-needed boost to morale and some relief from day-to-day pressures."

"Wishes help children look past their limitations, families overcome anxiety and entire communities experience joy," says Chris Pon, vice-president, national corporate alliances, Make-A-Wish Canada.  "Most importantly, wishes can improve a child's quality of life, giving them a better chance of recovering. We thank Bloomex and its customers for their ongoing support of our mission and for helping us move one step closer to achieving our goal of granting the wish of every eligible child in Canada."
