Enerflex partners with the MS Walk
The MS Society of Canada, Alberta Division, is proud to announce a new partnership with Enerflex Systems Ltd. Beginning in 2009, the Calgary-based energy services company will sponsor all MS Walks in Alberta. The next time you participate in a MS Walk in your community, you will see signs and banners that proudly display “Enerflex MS Walk.”
“This sponsorship allows Enerflex to give back to the community as well as increase staff camaraderie as they volunteer and participate in the Enerflex MS Walks across Alberta,” said Blair Goertezen, Enerflex CEO.
Enerflex first became involved with the MS Society in 1997 when a Calgary employee was diagnosed with MS. Enerflex employees rallied to support their co-worker, putting a team in the Walk and raising $6,000. Inspired by that passion, the company decided to become involved as an official sponsor of the Enerflex MS Walk in Calgary the following year.
This corporate support fueled the enthusiasm of employees and cultivated the relationship between Enerflex and the MS Society. As a result of that enthusiasm, Enerflex decided to expand their partnership to all of the Walks in Alberta for 2009.
In addition to the sponsorship agreement, Enerflex staff continue to volunteer and participate in the Enerflex MS Walks out of personal support for the cause.
“This sponsorship is of tremendous benefit to the MS Society in Alberta,” said Alison Hagan, Director of Development with Alberta Division. “Not only does it help to keep our costs low, it also helps create awareness throughout the province about MS and Enerflex”
Last year, MS Walks in Alberta raised $2.5 million. With Enerflex’s support, we hope to raise $2.6 million in 2009.
