The East Coast Trail (ECT) is $15,000 closer to its annual fundraising goal thanks to ExxonMobil Canada<\/strong><\/a> who signed on as the Trail Raiser<\/strong><\/a> Event Sponsor for 2019. The Trail Raiser is the ECT\u2019s annual fundraising hike, raising crucial funds and awareness to support the maintenance and protection of the ECT. This year\u2019s event will be held on Saturday, June 8th at Bay Bulls. \u201cWe are pleased to recognize and thank ExxonMobil Canada for its commitment to the Trail and its ongoing sustainability of the Association,\u201d said Randy Murphy, ECT President.<\/p>\n

ExxonMobil Canada has been a committed supporter of the ECT for the past 17 years, contributing to date $280,000 since 2002. This is a major contribution towards the ongoing sustainability of the ECT, supporting the funds required annually, from non-government sources, to qualify for provincial and federal funding programs. In addition, ExxonMobil Canada, through its donations to Nature Conservancy of Canada (Nature Reserve Maddox Cove, Nature Reserve Freshwater Bay), is having a significant positive impact on the preservation and protection of the ECT. On April 25, the ECT presented ExxonMobil Canada with the Cape Spear Award recognizing and honouring its outstanding, long-term contribution to the sustainability of the Trail.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership is having a positive and lasting impact on the ECT and ExxonMobil Canada is setting the example for the type of longstanding partnerships we are trying to develop with our corporate sponsors to sustain the ECT,\u201d says Randy Murphy, ECT President. The ECT \u201c25th Anniversary\u201d fundraising campaign was launched in early April with a fundraising goal of $225,000: Trail Raiser $75,000, Corporate Sponsors $150,000. The campaign is reaching out to the corporate community and the general public to get involved and embrace the Trail. The campaign provides the opportunity to show our appreciation for the \u201cgift of the East Coast Trail\u201d by helping raise the funds needed to maintain and protect this \u201cpriceless\u201d nature-based resource.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe East Coast Trail is an iconic attraction for visitors to eastern Newfoundland and the area\u2019s residents,\u201d said Peter Larden, President of ExxonMobil Canada. \u201cWe commend the Trail association for the incredible job it has done over the last 25 years to develop and maintain this wonderful resource for the province. We encourage people to join us on June 8 for the Trail Raiser.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s join with ExxonMobil Canada, working together to make a difference, accepting the challenge to establish an ECT fundraising milestone in 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
