Sobeys, Safeway, Foodland, IGA, Urban Fresh and Thrifty Foods (excluding Quebec) want to raise $1 million in support of Special Olympics athletes across Canada.
 

ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE?

From June 20 to July 3, you can help make a difference in the lives of Canadian children, youth and adults with an intellectual disability by making a mere $2 donation and/or rounding up your bill when you check out with your groceries.

Last year, customers donated more than $700,000, helping hundreds of athletes compete at Special Olympics Provincial Games, while also funding quality sports programming for 47,500 Canadians with an intellectual disability – of all ages and skill level - in communities across the country.

Help us reach our $1 million goal this year, so we can transform more lives through sport! 100 percent of all funds raised will directly benefit Special Olympics athletes.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: SATURDAY JUNE 22 SUMMER FOOD FAIR
