Charity Partner - BC Children's Hospital
The TELUS World Skins Game is a highlight of the Canadian summer sporting schedule, not only for Canadian golf fans, but for the local community as well. TELUS partners each year for the event with a charitable organization that aligns with TELUS' goal of making the future friendly for Canada's youth. Fulfilling TELUS' promise to "give where we live", the 2008 TELUS World Skins charity partner will be the BC Children's Hospital Foundation, provider of expert care for the province's most seriously ill or injured children.
"Last year, more than 2,100 children in the Thompson-Okanagan region made more than 5,400 visits to BC Children's Hospital," said Sue Carruthers, president and CEO of BC Children's Hospital Foundation. "Thousands of sick and injured children from Okanagan communities will benefit from our partnership with the 2008 TELUS World Skins Game. TELUS has been a long-standing contributor to the Hospital and this partnership demonstrates, once again, the dedication of TELUS and its employee's to improving child health in our province."
