"Drive One 4 UR Community" supports Communitas and Matthew's House

Thanks to Magnuson Ford and Ford Canada, friends of Communitas and Matthew's House will be able to test drive a brand new Ford and generate a donation for Communitas!

When: May 16th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Where: PriceSmart© parking lot, 32700 South Fraser Way next to the West Oaks Shopping Centre
Why: Every valid test-drive will generate a donation of $20.00 from Ford Canada - up to a maximum of $6000.

Come early and be sure to invite all of your friends to come out and support Communitas and Matthew's House.

A valid driver's license is required. After the test drive, you will fill out a short marketing survey to rate your experience. If time allows, you are permitted to drive as many of the models as you like, but only your initial test drive will be credited with a donation from Ford Canada.

Fraser Valley Pulse and Revival Arts Team Up to Raise Money for Matthew's House

The Fraser Valley Pulse and Revival Arts Studio worked together again last year to raise funds for Matthew's House. During their 12 Days of Christmas in the Fraser Valley event, the Fraser Valley Pulse featured an opportunity for people to win a portrait session with Revival Arts Studio and a small, framed print by donating to Matthew's House through CanadaHelps. Congratulations to the winner!

This is the second time that Revival Arts has participated with the Fraser Valley Pulse to raise funds for Matthew's House. Thank you Fraser Valley Pulse and Revival Arts for making this possible, and thanks to all of those who donated through this event!
