May 21, 2008 is Sunshine Day
On May 21, 2008, the Winnipeg Free Press Sunshine Fund, in partnership with A&W, will have it’s very first Sunshine Day in Manitoba. All the proceeds from the sale of A&W Root Beer and Coffee will be donated to the Sunshine Fund to help send Manitoba Children to Manitoba Accredited Camps.
In addition, you can also help send a child to camp by purchasing a Ray of Sunshine from A&W Restaurants for only $1 between May 12-21. Fill your name out on a Yellow Sun and help send a child to camp. This sun will be added to the walls of the Restaurant.
This will be happening at all A&W locations in Winnipeg, Selkirk, Lockport, Portage & Steinbach.
PS - Did you know that Manitoba is the only province in the country to have a "Sunshine Fund?" Founded in 1979 and thanks to the generous donations of Manitobans the fund has raised nearly $4.0 million dollars and sent more than 18,000 kids to camp.

Sunshine Fund gets a blog.
This is the new home of the Manitoba Camping Association/Winnipeg Free Press Sunshine Fund Blog.

The Sunshine Fund is administered by the Manitoba Camping Association with publicity sponsorship from the Winnipeg Free Press. 100% of donations are used directly for payment of camp fees.
Since 1979 over 3 million dollars has been raised to provide over 14,000 summer camp experiences.
