2005 WESTJET ANNUAL REPORT
11
WestJetter-supported
charities and events
WORLD AIRLINE ROAD RACE. WestJetters in Calgary,
with the help of WestJetters from around our network,
hosted airline employees from across the globe in this
internationally-recognized event. WestJet’s people dedicated
their own time to put on this marvellous event that raised
(along with our collective pulse rates) $15,000 for the
Alberta Kids Cancer Foundation.
INN FROM THE COLD. WestJetters from our Sales Super
Centre also demonstrated WestJet’s giving culture by
filling over 50 backpacks with gifts for adults, teens,
children and babies, then taking them to Inn from the
Cold. This is a local, non-profit organization that helps
downtrodden and homeless Calgarians, including families
with children, get back on their feet. The drop-off was
very emotional; the pride welled up in all of us for having
supported this worthy cause.
FOOD BANK DRIVE. Our very own Charles Clarke, a
WestJetter since day one, demonstrated his caring spirit
for the second year in a row by assisting veterans with a
very successful food bank drive. With the help of fellow
WestJetters, Charles was able to donate a small mountain
of food and money to this important charity.
OTHER PROUD MOMENTS FOR WESTJETTERS IN 2005.
WestJetters in Saskatoon raised $1,000 for the Canadian
Cancer Society’s 19th annual “Jail and Bail” fund-raising
event. Meanwhile, our Toronto team pulled together and
participated in the Salvation Army food drive. Montréal’s
team rallied for a cure for breast cancer by participating
in a 60 kilometre walk. Not to be outdone, our Hamilton
team participated in fundraising events such as all-night
relays, bake sales and golf tournaments, all in support
of cancer research. Their generosity did not stop there,
however, as the entire Hamilton team also collected
essential items and raised significant dollars for the
Interval House, a shelter for families in need.
