Kitchener local gets to travel anywhere Sunwing Flies and Donates to Typhoon Haiyan Relief
CAMBRIDGE, ONTARIO–(Jan. 2, 2014) – Worldline, the region’s largest telecom provider and best value in Unlimited Internet, Home Phone and Long Distance services, announced today the winner of their month-long “You Pick Your Trip” contest . Out of thousands of entrants from across Canada, a random computer draw chose Kitchener’s own Jalistair Declaro, who entered on Worldline’s Facebook page.
When he signed up Jalistair indicated that he hoped that he would get to travel to the Philippines to assist in that country’s recovery from Typhoon Haiyan, however that is one of the few destinations Sunwing Vacations does not service. Not wanting to have their winner disappointed, Worldline added to the Grand Prize of the trip for two to anywhere Sunwing Vacations flies, by donating $500.00 to a charity of Jalistair’s choosing and provided him with $100.00 of free long distance to the Phillipines.
Upon being notified, Jalistair said, “Thank you for the wonderful gift for my family and for your charity donations!”
Worldline CMO and co-founder John Stix said, “We were thrilled that someone in our own community won, and very touched with Jalistair’s wish to visit the Philippines to help with the recovery from Typhoon Haiyan, however that wasn’t possible. So instead, we bumped up the Grand Prize so he can assist through charitable giving and free long-distance.”
“This was our first contest with Sunwing, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Not only does Jalistair get to go on a first-class vacation for two to anywhere Sunwing flies, we also helped him with the recovery efforts from that devastating storm. We will be holding more You Pick Your Trip contests in 2014, and we hope they all turn out this way.”
Worldline waived all its long-distance fees for their customers who called the Philippines for the month of November after Haiyan hit, so Jalistair’s looking to help out really hit home.
