IBISKA is a strong supporter of community programs aimed at vulnerable individuals and families – we believe that our corporate contribution and the engagement of our staff helps build awareness of the needs of less fortunate members of our community and that it makes a real difference in people’s lives.

This year again, several IBISKA staff and consultants put their own weekend priorities aside on a beautiful Saturday morning to participate in the Canoe For Kids fundraising event. Although we did not win the canoe race we had fun trying.

Most importantly we won first prize for fund raising with over $14,000 raised which will enable 9 kids to attend summer camp this year. Thanks to the generosity of many donors that sponsored our team, the commitment of the company’s executives who supported the event by matching all donations, and the commitment of our staff who paddled during the event.

Thanks in particular to Cathy Loosley who organized IBISKA’s participation in the event and on her own raised over $5,000!
