RONDEX Rondex, also operated under the mother company of the TED Group of Companies donated to the RMHC this year in two different locations, Winnipeg, Manitoba and Hamilton, Ontario. “The cities in which we choose to run our business in are very important to us. We are a family run business and because of this we also treat our staff and customers as such. There is nothing more special and more meaningful to The TED Group than for us to help families in need, and most of all at Christmas time. It is the very least that we can do. We are very proud to support The Ronald MacDonald House.” For the fifth consecutive year, they donated to the RMHC in Hamilton but this time they raised a cash donation of $1500 from their silent auction. Not to mention a truck load of toys was also donated from their staff and customers. Rondex hosted more than 150 of their customers coming from all over Toronto to Niagara Falls for their festive Christmas dinner party. But for the first time ever the company donated to the Winnipeg, Manitoba RMHC location raising $3,500. “We’re extremely proud to present the cheque to Wendy Galagan, the CEO of Ronald McDonald House Manitoba. This donation was made on behalf of all friends, family and customers of Rondex and The TED Group of companies,” said James Sun, TED Group marketing coordinator. Just when you think they have finished giving back, president of the TED Group, Bret Greenwood said they will be giving lunches to some of the rooms at the Winnipeg house this year. “We will be supporting the RMHC in more than one way this year. Stay tuned,” said Greenwood.
PARR AUTO BODY Saskatoon-based Parr Auto Body got into the spirit of the season by donating to a couple of different charities, including the Ronald McDonald House’s Adopt-a-Room program and the Saskatoon Food Bank. The facility started off by donating $4,000 and enough food to stuff an SUV to a local food bank. Parr Auto Body’s donations, which went to the Saskatoon Food Bank, was given as part of the ‘Stuff The Bus Campaign’ put on by radio station Rock 102 FM. “Our team really comes together to make things happen. It’s great to include different team members in the opportunities to expose them to the feeling of sharing our blessings,”

In addition to this, the team also gives back to a variety of charities and continues to have an ongoing commitment to provide support for Ronald McDonald House’s Adopt-a-Room program. “Parr considers community involvement to be one of its core values and we believe that as people living and doing business in Saskatoon we have a responsibility to give back to that community,” said Stebner.
