Ottawa, ON – The annual Farm Boy™ Coupon for Kids campaign is back with the launch of this year’s coupon book in all stores as of Wednesday, November 23. Proceeds from the coupon book sales support children’s nutritional and educational programs at local hospital foundations, with the CHEO Foundation benefitting from the books sold in Ottawa and Cornwall.
Kevin Keohane, President and CEO of the CHEO Foundation said, “Farm Boy and CHEO have shared a fantastic partnership throughout the years and we are thrilled that the Farm Boy Coupon Book will continue to benefit families who need CHEO. We want to thank everyone at Farm Boy and their customers for making a difference in the lives of children and youth with their continued support.”
“Our customers know that ensuring the health and well being of our youth is one of the most important things we can do as a community. We are so very proud of the work that CHEO does in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, and are thankful to our customers for playing their part in this great partnership” said Jeff York, Co-CEO of Farm Boy.
The 11,850 coupon books have been printed courtesy of Metroland Media and are available for only $10 in all 23 Farm Boy stores (excluding the Fresh Zone at Canadian Tire Centre) across Ontario until January 15, 2017 or while quantities last. Each book contains 100 coupons totalling over $100.
