Wildfires, conservation, preservation and adventure on your mind?

We are so very lucky to live in a land where we have free and ready access to some of the planet’s most diverse, invigorating, and rugged beauty. This past summer my husband and I had the happy chance to take Mom on a week long explore of the Spiral Tunnels, Skunk Cabbage Boardwalk, The Enchanted Forest, and much more. We hiked, geocached, and hugged trees (well, I hugged the trees) all along the way! (For a helpful list of spots to find breath-taking beauty, visit the BC Parks government directory.)

If, like my family, you’re a park adventurer, BC Parks Foundation notes,

“We come to you respectfully and enthusiastically, to ask you to consider joining us in our magic canoe of park supporters. We call it magic because the canoe always expands to welcome new paddles, and every paddle makes a difference, no matter the size, shape, or colour.

The parks need you, and now more than ever, the world needs more Beautiful, Supernatural BC. While there are many worthy causes, when you support parks, you are passing along the magic of life. Forever.”

Just how do you fit in the magic canoe?

Adventurer’s change in life benefits the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation

Pelicans, yellow headed black birds, loons – who wouldn’t enjoy the peace invoked in such serene surroundings? That’s exactly how Janice feels, but it’s time for a change in her world. She enjoyed several years of tranquil summers at the Lake in her Gulf Stream Kingsport 24. Then, a change in life circumstances turned her interests towards international travel. ‘Specifically of the expedition/adventure type!

Life is very, very good for Janice and she has much to look forward to! Her shift toward travel abroad meant making needed arrangements at home. One big decision was to donate an RV and two boats. Her desire was for someone else to enjoy their down time as much as she has. She also wanted the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation to benefit from the sale of the RV.

Why donate instead of pursuing a private sale?

When asked why she didn’t opt to sell the camper herself, she expressed appreciation for our organization and the ease of connecting “ordinary people who want to help” and the charities they love. Janice wasn’t all that interested in going through the hassle it would take to look after it herself, so was rather delighted that she could give to the AIWC with ease.

Her pristine trailer was completely winterized. It was all ready for storage, or for a fall outing while the going was good! Her top-notch kayak and canoe were also ready to be sold at auction. We were beyond thrilled to see this kind of generosity extended to one of our deserving charities.

At Donate A Car Canada, one of our greatest joys is our ability to provide donors an alternative way to give. Matching your generosity with the charity of your choice is the heart of this work.

This is another exciting venture as we anticipate the successful sale of the Gulf Stream and the funds it will generate towards the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation.

A happy return for the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation

We have a fabulous update: Janice’s RV resulted in a donation of over $7,000.00 for the AIWC! ‘So much gratitude for the privilege of sharing in this adventure!

It’s outcomes like these that underscore, again and again, the beauty of vehicle donation for charity of choice. The process is so simple, quick, and free. You can gift ANY Canadian charity. Every vehicle counts — whether it’s re-sold, or recycled, donation dollars add up and your charity will be so grateful for every one of them.
