Partnership: WestJet
WestJet is one of CNIB's most generous and committed national
partners. WestJet's giving history includes donating numerous ticket
vouchers to be used at event raffles and auctions across the country.
From these tickets, CNIB has been able to raise, directly and
indirectly, approximately $500,000. This mode of giving was recently
extended to include seven round-trip tickets for the CNIB SCORE Youth
Program participants.
WestJet in cooperation with Air Canada also invested $125,000 in the
CNIB-WestJet Success for School project which will enable CNIB to
provide intensive early childhood intervention support to children
across Canada who are born blind or experience vision loss in the first
six years of their life. Using funding from WestJet, CNIB specialists
will offer support to these infants and toddlers and their families to
ensure they have the developmental skills (physical, social and
cognitive, with an emphasis on literacy) necessary for success in
school.
