All summer long, 730CKDM was travelling around the Parkland for Cruisin' with Fusion. Fusion Credit Union was hosting events fundraisers with BBQs, live music, contests, and so much more.
In the end, $12,554 was raised as the summer-long tour visited 18 different communities.
"It was a fantastic event. It was so exciting to be able to offer a signature event and the same type of experience in all 18 of our locations," said Leanne DeVliegere, Chief Operations Officer at Fusion Credit Union. "We really noticed how much the communities embraced it and they really wanted to spend time with us."
"The weather was beautiful and we had great music," she continued. "730CKDM was such a fantastic partner. With all of the prizes and giveaways, it was quite a success."
Fusion paid for all of the supplies for the BBQ. The $12,554 came straight from the BBQs and donations. The funds have now been allocated to different places across the Parkland.
The list includes:
- Whitmore School in Dauphin.
- Pine River Community Centre in Ethelbert.
- Daily Discoveries in Gilbert Plains.
- Winnipegosis and District Residential Services.
- Rorketon Fire Department.
The above are just a few places that Fusion Credit Union has supported through the funds raised from Cruisin' with Fusion.
With the 2019 event now in the past, Leanne shares some insight into if they'll be back doing something similar in 2020.
"We really loved the opportunity to support all of our communities in a similar way," concluded DeVliegere. "Whether it's exactly like Cruisin' with Fusion next year or something different based on what we learned this year, we're always going to have something that is supporting our communities."
