Packed with prizes, games, mobile offers and cute canines in support of Canadian charities
TORONTO, April 12, 2012 /CNW/ - Today, Fido kicked off the FidoCARES national road trip across Canada with its pack of partners who are all actively involved in enriching lives through dogs and the environment.
The FidoCARES tour continues to support four community partners including Evergreen, Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program and the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies.
"We're very excited to be hitting the road to visit our Fido fans and dog lovers in local communities across the country on our FidoCARES tour," said Steven Sarfin, Senior Director, Marketing, Fido. "We're very proud of our community partners and for the support they provide Canadians. This tour will help us showcase these charities, how we support them and encourage Canadians to offer their own time to make a difference in their communities."
The FidoCARES tour kicks off at Yonge and Dundas Square in Toronto, Ont. on April 12, 2012 and will continue throughout 2012 to visit communities in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Winnipeg, Ontario and Montréal.
