TORONTO, JANUARY 16, 2023<\/strong> \u2013 Baskin-Robbins Canada remitted today a cheque of $30,000 to BGC Canada, a registered charity that has engaged and empowered millions of children and youth across Canada since 1900. The funds were raised through the brand\u2019s Pink Spoon fundraiser campaign, which took place across all Baskin-Robbins locations in Canada October and November 2023. Baskin-Robbins allocated 15 per cent of proceeds from the sale of its newest line of desserts, The Ultimate Take Home Sundae, as well as through the sale of paper icons in the shape of ice cream cones.<\/p>\n

\u201cBGC Canada is a lifesaver and \u2018life enhancer\u2019 in so many communities across the country,\u201d said Natalie Joseph, spokesperson for\u00a0Baskin-Robbins Canada. \u201c<\/em>We are happy to share a portion of the success of our newest dessert, The Ultimate Take Home Sundae, with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Funds raised through the campaign will go towards supporting BGC Canada programs that focus on education, physical activity, leadership development, and overall positive youth development. By contributing to BGC Canada\u2019s initiatives, Baskin-Robbins Canada aims to play a role in creating opportunities for young people to reach their full potential.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cYoung Canadians deserve a safe, supportive, and enriching environment where they can develop the skills and confidence they\u2019ll need to flourish and grow in character,\u201d said Rachael MacKenzie-Neill, Vice-President, Development & Public Affairs at BCG Canada. \u201cWe are grateful for the support of the Baskin-Robbins Canada team and its guests who enthusiastically contributed to the work that we do. Together, we\u2019re making a positive impact on the lives of countless children and youth in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baskin-Robbins Canada first partnered with BGC Canada in 2017. Together, in that time, the partnership has helped to raise more than $130, 000 in funds and in-kind value.<\/p>\n
