#FHFF: Social Media and Positive Impact
(NOTE: If you just want to enter for the contest, hop down to The Contest Heading)
Many of you may be able to relate to me when I say that Social Media has created countless opportunities to connect and create friendships with so many great people and businesses, here in Vancouver, and across the globe!
One of these great people I have had the opportunity to connect with is Richard Loat who is the CEO and Founder of Five Hole for Foods– an annual coast to coast street hockey tour that raises canned food to support local food banks! Last year they raised 2,700 kilo’s and this year their aiming for 9,000 (their almost at 7,000 kilos with 5 cities to go!).
Social Media has played an integral role in the Five Hole for Food success, I recently talked about how Richard and the #FHFF team have leveraged social media to create a strong brand presence, secure funding, and generate momentum.
A Great Event for a Great Cause!
This Saturday (July 9th) will be the finale street hockey game held in Vancouver on Granville Street. To celebrate the success of this years tour and the final game in Vancouver, Five Hole for Food is holding a huge after-party hosted by one of Vancouver’s top event planning company’s, Amuse Events at Harrison Galleries. With Marc Smith, CEO of Amuse Events in charge, you can expect an amazing event! The party will be sponsored by Molson Canadian and Boston Pizza and there will be auction items, live music, and of course great company!

Spread the Word!
This will be a very quick contest, ending with a random draw on Thursday afternoon at 3pm. Because of the short timeframe I appreciate all of your support and help in getting the word out in the Vancouver community!

Thank you for your support and willingness to raise awareness to Five Hole’s great initiative!
