Doing The Happy includes cleaning out your closets for SickKids.
DYN Exports, a clothing recycling company, today donated $25,000 to SickKids to support its Healthy & Happy campaign. This gift is in addition to a $25,000 donation the company made to SickKids in January. The funds will support the Hospital’s highest priority needs.
DYN Exports recycles donated clothes and transforms them into products that are used in developing countries and in North America. The company is donating 41 per cent of the proceeds to SickKids from all of its clothing bins in the City of Toronto and from the clothing it picks up at homes in Markham, Richmond Hill and Mississauga. Over the next two years, it is expected more than $200,000 will be raised for the Hospital through this effort.
If you live Markham, Richmond Hill or Mississauga, look out for a DYN flyer delivered to your door. For more information about specific neighbourhoods being visited, follow DYN on twitter at @dynexportsinc or call 905-761-1877.
