As most of you may know on April 30, 2009 the Kelowna campus took part in a fundraiser called Have a Heart Radiothon. This event is made in order to raise money for Kelowna’s General Hospital’s Neo-Natal Unit. The Neo-Natal Unit is very important to the hearts of the Kelowna community and Sprott Shaw is very honoured to help with such a cause! The Sun FM made a promo video in order to get more volunteers for next years fundraiser.  This year they raised $3600.00 for the Neo Natal Unit!! With more volunteers next year, who knows how much more they will raise. Check out the promo video –>  http://www.vimeo.com/5171763

Dean the President of Sprott Shaw collecting donations for the Have a Heart Radiothon!

Our Kelowna campus had an amazing day on April 30, 2009 collecting money for the Neo-Natal unit for the Kelowna’s General Hospital. The sun was out, smiles were made as well as money for the great cause!

 Dean, the President of Sprott Shaw Community College was helping the Kelowna campus collect donations from many drivers for this important cause. “It was an honour to have Dean come to Kelowna to help us” one of our advisors told me. She also went on to say Dean was quite into as well; weaving in and out of traffic, collecting donations, smiling and thanking people for their donation. Thanks Dean for coming out and helping from the Kelowna campus!!

The Kelowna campus also had the pleasure of having some Alumni students return to volunteer this year. Obviously, this cause is near and dear to the hearts of a lot of people… it is for the kids!

A sincere thank you to all who donated their time, money, enthusiasm and expertise to make this a great success! The end result was a WHOPPING $3600.00!!!!  

Great job guys, what a great cause!! 

Have a Heart Radiothon

For the third year in a row, Kelowna’s  staff & students have donated their time and enthusiasm to the “Have a Heart” radiothon. The event is hosted by Kelowna’s best radio station –> Sun FM. Over the years, the Kelowna campus have helped raise over $15,000.00 towards Kelowna’s Neo-natal Unit.  The money that is raised stays in Kelowna. The cause is near and dear to the hearts of the Kelowna community and we are extremely proud to work with Sun FM to help raise the funds needed. This year the event is on April 30, right in the middle of our graduation ceremonies! What a fun and busy week ahead for the Kelowna Campus!

This year we are particularly excited as we have the President of Sprott Shaw, Dean Dupperon, volunteering. Yes, that’s right! Our own president is getting involved in this cause. We also have some of our graduated students wanted to participate again this year. Not only does this event bring us a huge sense of community, but we have a lot of fun dodging in and out of traffic collecting donations from stopped cars! Giving back to our community and getting involved is something we take seriously here at Sprott Shaw Community College.

Stayed tuned for this years total amount raised and photos from the event!
