Celebrating Our Local Heroes Together
Local Hero Campaign
There are many people in our community who have stepped up during this unprecedented pandemic and helped out others in a variety of meaningful ways.
As a small token of our community’s appreciation we’ve partnered with amazing Aurora businesses and local community members to create 5 gift boxes to give to 5 local heroes, as a thank you from our community!
We have 5 different gift boxes that include products, gift cards and coupons for services, specifically selected for the following themes:
1. Child (aged 12 and under) – UNBOXED July 30, 2020!
2. Young adult (Teenager and/or post-secondary student) – UNBOXED August 6, 2020!
3. Adult – UNBOXED July 23, 2020!
4. Home: Interior & Exterior – TO BE REVEALED August 20, 2020
5. Business to Business – TO BE REVEALED August 27, 2020
Recipients of the gift boxes have been randomly selected from community nominations, and can be seen below…
Let the Unboxing Begin!
