The AIDS Coalition of Nova Scotia (ACNS), along with the BMO Financial Group, is honored to celebrate the longstanding commitment and dedication of Chester + Company to the cause of supporting people living with HIV/AIDS and promoting prevention programming across Nova Scotia. In honor of their valuable work, we will be presenting the Chester + Company team with an achievement award at the BMO Financial Group Bid for Life Dinner & Auction on March 21st, 2013.
Chester + Company is a strategic brand advertising and design agency in Halifax, and a team of highly skilled, passionate individuals. The company has worked with ACNS for over 8 years and has helped us to align the organizations’ fundraising campaigns and other public initiatives to experience a new level of success. The first campaign they jumped on board with was the Bid for Life event, which came to be known as the BMO Financial Group Bid for Life Dinner & Auction event. The team helped us to launch our first Amazing Challenge event, which is presently in its fourth year. “It’s impossible to place a number on the amount of success that they have brought to our organization,” said Maria Mac Intosh, the Executive Director at ACNS.
The team at Chester + Company has been exceptional to work with, have always provided helpful guidance and have learned about the nuances that are unique to our work to achieve a standard of collaboration we have not experienced in the past.
“As an agency, we really believe in celebrating diversity. That’s why we are so proud of our work with ACNS,” said Chester + Company President, Chester Goluch. “We’re looking forward to strengthening our relationship with this very important organization in the future.”
Please join ACNS in thanking Chester + Company, for more information please go to the ACNS website: www.acns.ns.ca.
In case you forgot, last Saturday was the RBC Amazing Challenge for AIDS and for the third year in a row, Chester’s Cheetah’s were pumped.
The “Challenges” this year were crazy! They weren’t just about brawn and physicality, quizzes were part of the drill including a bunch of stumpers. Off the top of your head, do you know when the MacDonald Bridge was built. We didn’t. The Cheater’s did excel at one very delicious challenge though. Eating an enormous cookie, Lady and the Tamp style at Two If By Sea. Yum!
So, how did our team fare? Let’s just say “it’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game”! Chester’s Cheetah’s came in 4th. The good news is that the RBC Amazing Challenge for AIDS came in FIRST. All the participating teams raised thousands of dollars for the ACNS to help in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Nova Scotia and the Atlantic
Thanks to all our donors for their generosity. See you next year!
