RV dealerships raise money to support wildfire relief

Canada’s largest RV dealer group has joined together to help raise funds for those affected by the record-breaking wildfires.

RV companies in The Adventurer Group – Fraserway RV, Country RV, and Travelhome RV – is raising funds for Samaritan’s Purse Canada and Canadian Red Cross.

Here are their commitments:

• • Donate $1,500 from every RV sold in B.C.;
  • Donate $750 from every RV sold outside B.C.;
  • Donate 10% of retail parts sold;
  • Donate 10% of retail rental bookings from our B.C. rental locations;
  • Offer a $1,000 credit on an Adventurer Group Cash Card for evacuated or displaced residents purchasing an RV;
  • Match donations dollar-for-dollar by 800+ employees within The Adventurer Group

The fundraiser features 13 dealerships over a five week period. The goal is $500,000; currently they have raised $233,000.

“We’ve been going for two weeks so we have three weeks remaining…” says Fraserway RV’s Dave Smith. “It was an easy choice and it’s just a matter of coming up with a plan, who’s the money’s going to go to, and how it can help the most people with the money raised.”

The Adventurer Group raised $448,022 in 2016 for the northern Alberta fire relief efforts, donating money to Samaritan’s Purse Canada and Canadian Red Cross as well as the city of Fort McMurray to build a full interactive playground in the city’s newest school.
