Raising funds for you cause just got a little bit simpler. ERA has a fundraising program in place that allows groups to host an e-waste drive and then hand over collected equipment to ERA to earn rebates.
On June 11th, the Calgary Rockies Ringette team hosted a Moolah for Macros e-waste fundraising drive at Lake Chapparal in Calgary. We spent the day with their team collecting unwanted electronic equipment from friends, family, and community members.
At the end of the day, the team had nearly filled one of ERA’s 5 ton trucks! We transported all of that e-waste back to our facilities, where it was sorted, weighed and data wiped for security. Using rebate allowances put in place through our Moolah for Macros fundraising program, we were pleased to write a cheque in the amount of $491.40.
FOR A DAY’S WORK, EARNING NEARLY $500.00 TOWARD THEIR GOAL IS PRETTY AMAZING! NOT ONLY THAT, THEIR EFFORTS THROUGH OUR FUNDRAISING PROGRAM ALLOWED ERA TO DIVERT HUNDREDS OF POUNDS OF E-WASTE FROM LANDFILLS, KEEPING OUR EARTH SAFE.
If you would like to book an e-waste fundraiser, contact us today for more information. We’ll help you put together a communication plan and will share details of your fundraiser with all of our contacts to ensure it is a success!
