The Alberta Electrical Alliance Christmas Fundraisers Bring in $9,700 for Local Charities

AEA • Jan 08, 2021

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Calgary, AB: The Alberta Electrical Alliance (AEA) proudly announces that this year’s AEA Christmas Fundraisers collectively raised $9,700 for The Magic of Christmas Charity in Calgary and Edmonton’s Food Bank. 

The AEA is a long time supporter of both organizations and normally raises funds through the contribution of their members during the AEA’s Annual Regional Christmas events. Despite these events being cancelled due to COVID-19, the AEA chose to carry on their charitable tradition and took the fundraisers online. 

“We realized that this year, our communities need us now more than ever,” says Tara Ternes, Alberta Electrical Alliance Chief Executive Officer. “It was our honour to team up with our incredible members to help ensure that every family had gifts to open and a meal to eat at Christmastime.”

AEA member companies and individuals rose to the challenge, supporting the fundraisers through their generous contributions. Main corporate contributors this year included: City Electric Supply, EECOL, EWEL and Prolux Lighting.

Over the years, the AEA has donated a grand total of over $50,000 to Calgary’s Magic of Christmas Charity:

“The Magic of Christmas has been the humble beneficiary of the AEA Calgary Region fundraising campaign since 2014. Despite the annual in-person event being cancelled this year, the generosity of the AEA members once again blew our minds,” says Scott Perley, The Magic of Christmas President. “We’re grateful to the AEA and its members who donated and helped us to ensure that Christmas wasn’t cancelled this year for the families we visited.”
