Fundraisers

Many ways to support the Phil.

One way is by participating in one of our annual fundraisers!  These fundraisers help offset costs associated with bringing high-quality traditional choral music.

The Phil runs four fundraisers a year:

  • Sobeys / Safeway Grocery Card Sale

  • Red River Co-Op Grocery Card Sale

  • Poinsettia Plant Sale

  • Spring Plant Sale

Safeway/Sobeys Grocery Card Sale – March 3 - March 31

You already buy groceries – all you have to do is change the way you pay for them! The Phil sells grocery cards for use at Sobeys/Safeway/FreshCo/IGA and receives a percentage of each sale.

Red River Co-op Grocery Card Sale – February 3 - March 3

Here's how it works:
The Phil is also selling Co-op grocery cards for use at Red River Co-op grocery stores and receives a percentage of each sale.

  • Cards are available in amounts of $25, $50 and $100 and can be used for grocery and pharmacy shopping but not fuel purchases. Cards can be used at any Red River Co-op store in Winnipeg (Grant Park, St. Vital, St. Norbert, Southdale, Seasons), Selkirk, Lorette, Stonewall, Gimli.

  • You buy Red River Co-op Gift cards for face value and you get face value. Each card automatically includes a 10% donation to the Phil from Red River Co-op.

Spring Plant Sale

Spring Plant Sale (yearly) – February 1 - April 15

We partner yearly with Glenlea Greenhouses for our Spring Plant Sale. Glenlea Greenhouses offers top-quality plants at competitive prices, with fundraising selections including annuals, perennials, vegetables and herbs. For the balcony or window box gardener, they offer beautiful hanging baskets and mixed containers, or you can create your own from a gorgeous selection of container plants. Opulent pots of fall chrysanthemums can be ordered at the same time for delivery after Labour Day. If you are interested in plants that aren’t among the fundraising options, consider ordering plant cards; these can be used to shop in person at the retail location just south of Winnipeg or at the Glenlea booth at local farmers’ markets (see Glenlea website).

Please share the link (www.glenleagreenhouses.com) with friends, family, neighbours and colleagues. Depending on how much we sell, The Phil can expect to receive 20-25% (before tax) of the value of all plant sales and 15% ($3.75 each) on gift cards. The plants are always of terrific quality, and you’ll be supporting a local, family-run business as well as the Phil.

Thanks for your support!
