Clothesline Disney Contest Winner Announcement
Congratulations Harjinder Singh Sandhu of Calgary, AB
Clothesline® fall campaign 2012 ‘BAG IT. DONATE IT. WIN IT!’ was a resounding success, collecting more than 10 million kilograms of donated clothing, small household and electronic items! More than 51,000 Canadians entered Clothesline’s Disney campaign, with a chance to win a trip for 4 to Walt Disney World® in sunny Orlando, Florida.
This year’s winner, Mr. Sandhu (pictured), of Calgary, AB, has been a Clothesline® donor since 2009. Mr. Sandhu is retired after a 37 year career with Teck Coal Resources in British Columbia and enjoys gardening, wood working and long walks.
“We have relatives living with diabetes, so we make sure to donate to Clothesline as often as possible so that the Canadian Diabetes Association can continue its important work and diabetes research,” Harjinder shared.
Please join us in congratulating Mr. Sandhu on his dream family getaway to Walt Disney World® and thank you to everyone who helped make this campaign such a massive success.
