‘Our Favourite Things’ Campaign to Benefit Shoppers and Local Charities

Mar 30, 2016 | 1:11 PM

LETHBRIDGE – Park Place Mall launched their “Our Favourite Things” campaign Wednesday morning.

Every three months through 2016, they will be giving prizes away to shoppers and charitable organizations in Lethbridge.

The first giveaway is set for early May, and will see 16 bikes going to shoppers and another 16 going to the Boys and Girls Club of Lethbridge.

“To be able to offer our youth something as awesome as free bikes for transportation, or even the use of bikes, if we wanted to rent them out to each of our youth, just so they can get around town,” stated Youth Services Director Byron Dent. “We can provide them with opportunities to access services, access job interviews, or even just transportation to just meet a friend in need.”

Park Place Mall Marketing Manager, Jarod Neithercut, noted that they wanted to make a more tangible difference in the community, after making cash donations in the past.

He went on to explain how it will work, “Basically it’s an entry with purchase campaign, so people just need to take their receipts to guest services, every $150 they spend will go towards an entry, tax can be included, they can keep their receipts from past purchases and get it to total up, so it doesn’t have to be a one-time shopping thing or anything like that.”

The grand prize is a 2016 Jeep Renegade, which will be given away around Christmas. Every entry throughout the year, even those that win, will be in the running for the Jeep.
