18 Wheels 2008 - Update for Edmonton:
The 18 Wheels Edmonton team pulled into the Edmonton Food Bank on December 16. The team was met by very excited Food Bank staff. Santa Clause himself hauled in a full 53' trailer while his helpers followed closely with a full 48' trailer.
It was Edmonton's second year involved in the 18 Wheels Christmas drive, and it was a HUGE success. We didn't do it alone though, and have to thank many people.
First off, we have to thank the entire staff that dedicated their time to this cause. The program was run and organized by Ken Rosenau, Jodi Manning, and Justin Fillier of the Rosenau Edmonton terminal. We also must send a huge thank you out to CISN FM 103.9 and Terry Evans and his crew from the K97 radio station. As well, all the many sponsors that donated food and money.
We teamed up with CISN for a day of fundraising at three Sobeys locations in Edmonton. WOW ! Even despite current economic problems, Edmontonians continue to show just how generous and charitable they can be. We would also like to extend our thanks to everyone at Sobeys.
Next was a huge event with Terry Evans of the K97 morning show. Terry braved the frigid Edmonton winter and lived in our trailer in support of the food bank. Terry came on the radio every morning urging Edmontonians to donate. He vowed not to get out of the trailer until the food pushed him out..... and he lived up to that promise. Terry filled our trailer with the help of many people, including local firemen and military personnel.
On behalf of the Rosenau Edmonton team and the Edmonton Food Bank, thank you to all our sponsors and everyone that donated.
