Along with all the other stores in Red Apple Stores Inc. chain, The Bargain! Shop in 100 Mile House is supporting a new charity this year – the Canadian Addiction Medical Health (CAMH) and its Darkness to Light awareness campaign and fundraiser.
Local store manager Janel Driediger says the local store will stay open from 9 p.m. to midnight on Friday (May 29) in support of the promotional initiative to battle mental illness.
During the promotion, Driediger says The Bargain! Shop will offer $5 off any purchase of $25 or more.
“So, if someone comes to the till and purchases items that are $25 or more before taxes, $5 will be deducted at the cash register.”
She adds there will be donation boxes at the store’s registers for folks to support the fundraiser, as well as a table with information about CAMH, which is Canada’s leading hospital for mental health.
The money raised through CAMH Darkness to Light will help fund CAMH’s highest priority needs, including improving access to care, leading-edge research into new methods to treat and prevent mental illness and addiction, and education – projects that will promote improvements in mental health care in communities across the country, according to the information package sent to Driediger.
“I really hope people come out to support this worthy cause.”
