| The Calgary Herald presented local philanthropist Allan Markin with a special framed tribute for tripling the total amount raised during the 2011 Calgary Herald Christmas Fund campaign. |
On Tuesday, Jan. 24, our CEO Walter Twiddy and COO LeeAnne Alexander were smiling ear to ear along with dozens of other non-profit representatives, local philanthropists and Calgary Herald employees as the proceeds from the Calgary Herald Christmas Fund were finally divvied up. To a standing ovation, philanthropist Allan Markin was honoured for having tripled the total amount raised. Not just one, but several standing ovations later, the giant cheques were distributed by Herald Publisher Guy Huntingford and Editor-in-Chief Lorne Motley to the 12 deserving charities. We're speechless. Thank you so much to Mr. Markin and every one of the 4,600+ donors who found it in their hearts to give generously! Your generosity added up to a $280,483.23 donation made to each charity, including NeighbourLink.
