ThinkFirst Canada recently awarded Aviva Canada and Sally Turney, vice president of corporate affairs, a 2008 Public Education and Awareness Award for their commitment to the charity.
Since 2007, Aviva Canada has been working with signature charitable partner ThinkFirst Canada, to develop their regional chapters and spread the injury prevention message.
"This award goes to all the Aviva employees who have volunteered with ThinkFirst," said Sally. "The ThinkFirst team have been overwhelmed with the support from the Aviva team. Once again - it is our employees who have made the difference!"
The commitment of Aviva Canada and the Corporate Affairs team has allowed ThinkFirst Canada’s injury prevention messaging to reach thousands of Canadian youth. Countless Canadians now know about ThinkFirst and their work thanks to Aviva’s public relations and promotional initiatives.
Held in March, Aviva Brain Day is one of the many activities Aviva Canada organizes and promotes. This program teaches thousands of grade five students across the country to use their brains to protect their bodies. Since 2005, Aviva Brain Day has grown significantly and has reached more than 10,000 students.
ThinkFirst has benefited tremendously from Aviva’s dedicated army of volunteers who have helped spread the injury prevention message and raise funds across the country. Beth Bull, vice president, healthcare services at Aviva Canada also sits as a national member on the ThinkFirst Board. For more information, please visit ThinkFirst’s website - www.thinkfirst.ca.
