Arnold Bros. turns Christmas parade plaid
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA
Arnold Bros. brought the plaid to the Winnipeg Santa Claus Parade, to bring attention to prostate cancer programs.
The company entered into the parade a tractor-trailer dubbed ‘Plaid Won- derland’ on Nov. 17.
Arnold Bros. has raised more than $19,000 this year for the cause.
“It kind of took on a life of its own,” says Arnold Bros. finance director Carla Kaneski, who serves as the campaign captain and credits a fundrais- ing team representing several departments.
“Awareness is everything for us. Men typically don’t like to talk about their health,” says Arden Bagni, a spokesman for Prostate Cancer Canada. “Yet almost all of the men who have prostate cancer detected soon enough will survive.”
