Estimated $320,000 raised for HALO Air Ambulance with Free Fry Day
LETHBRIDGE, AB – The single-day fundraising goal for HALO was more than tripled.
Western Tractor, McCain Foods, and JEB Transport teamed up for the innovative event Friday, offering free bags of french fries in exchange for donations to the medical rescue service.
The goal was to raise $100,000 in a single day, which, at the time the fundraiser was announced, was deemed to be ambitious.
Organized by Western Tractor, President Steven Dyck was at their locations in Medicine Hat, Burdett, Taber, and Lethbridge, saying he was blown away by the generosity.
