téléthon
At the 24nd annual Opération Enfant Soleil telethon, held June 4
and 5, Metro presented a cheque for $72 188.50, a record amount for
the company. The Metro, Metro Plus, and Super C banners all decided
to give Opération Enfant Soleil 50 cents from every purchase of any
size of Simply Kids diapers, 100% Petit. The one-year fundraising
campaign, which ran from June 1, 2010, to June 1, 2011, was a great
success.
Opération Enfant Soleil is a non-profit organization that raises
money to support the development of quality pediatric care for
children across Quebec. This year, the organization raised $17 221
000 at its 24nd annual telethon.
