Craftsman Collision Raises CA$31,000 for the Canadian Red Cross BC Wildfire Appeal

September 28, 2021 By CollisionWeek Editor

Craftsman Collision, the Canadian multiple shop operator MSO, announced that as part of its ongoing commitment to giving back, it has partnered with the Canadian Red Cross to support of the BC Wildfire Appeal campaign.

In mid-August, a 2-week matching fundraising campaign was launched through Craftsman’s social media channels, media outlets in the Okanagan and Craftsman employees. The campaign raised CA$15,833, and Color Compass and BASF kickstarted the campaign with a CA$10,000 donation. Craftsman Collision is matching dollar for dollar to help those directly impacted by the fires in the communities where Craftsman does business.

“As a proud Canadian brand, Craftsman has been committed to supporting our local communities for more than four decades,” said Rick Hatswell, President. “In these unprecedented times, we are continuing to give back in the best way we can, while encouraging others to do the same. We were thrilled with the results of our matching campaign which raised a total of CA$31,266 for the Red Cross who have worked so tirelessly supporting British Columbians affected by the devastating wildfires this summer. Thank you to all our staff at our Craftsman Collision locations in Kamloops, Kelowna and Vernon for helping make this fundraiser such a success.”
