Sherwood Ford Hosts Fundraising Event for A Safe Place

On Saturday, September 26, from noon to 4 p.m., Sherwood Ford will hold the Ford × Oilers Dealer Days at its dealership located on Broadmoor Boulevard, Sherwood Park. This exciting community event aims not only to bring together hockey fans and families, but also to raise crucial funds for A Safe Place, an emergency shelter dedicated to helping women and children escape domestic violence.

A Commitment to Community Support

Since its inception in 1984, A Safe Place, managed by the Strathcona Shelter Society, has provided vital services to over 25,000 women and children. The organization emphasizes the importance of safety, offering an emergency shelter, a 24-hour crisis hotline, and ongoing community education programs. Every year, fundraising initiatives like the Ford × Oilers Dealer Days play a pivotal role in sustaining these essential services.

Karen Kadatz, Executive Director at A Safe Place, expressed her gratitude for Sherwood Ford’s support. “We rely on the generosity of our community to continue our critical work. Events like these not only raise funds but also help raise awareness about the resources available for those in need,” she stated. The funds raised during this event will significantly contribute to ensuring that families are kept safe from abuse and violence.

An Afternoon of Fun and Prizes

Attendees can look forward to a festive afternoon filled with activities for all ages. Hockey fans will have the unique opportunity to meet Edmonton Oilers alumnus Louie DeBrusk and interact with the beloved Oilers mascot, Hunter. Furthermore, guests can test drive the latest Ford models, knowing that for every test drive completed, Sherwood Ford will donate $30 to A Safe Place.

In addition to the tests drives, there will be various activities, games, and chances to win exciting prizes, including:

• - Tickets to an Edmonton Oilers game
• - Ford merchandise
• - Signed memorabilia

Chris Suvanto, the General Sales Manager at Sherwood Ford, shared the vision behind the event: “We wanted to create a welcoming environment that not only invites the community to enjoy an afternoon of fun but also gives back to those who need it the most.”
