-Alpine Ontario Alpin Announces Audi Quattro® Raffle-
Collingwood, ON—31 January 2012—Alpine Ontario Alpin (AOA) is collaborating with Audi Canada to expand its fundraising initiatives and announce the first AOA Audi Quattro® Raffle. AOA is looking to raise $350,000 for its member clubs and racing programs. This is the first time Audi Canada and AOA have collaborated.
“AOA members are as committed to performance on the hill as Audi is to performance on the road,” said James R. Lazor, executive director, AOA. “The multi-level programming that AOA provides its members is vital to the growth of skiing in Ontario and continuing its tradition that is why we are looking to our members and the community to support AOA in this unique way.”
“While this is the first time Audi Canada and AOA have collaborated, Audi has a long partnership with alpine skiing through the International Ski Federation (FIS),” said Michael Brennan of Audi Canada. “We are proud to partner with AOA and help AOA continue the alpine skiing tradition by supporting its fundraising efforts.”
To purchase raffle tickets, visit your Audi Canada dealer or you can contact communications@alpineontario.ca to learn more.
