Over $3,200 Raised through Walk the Walk for Autism Nova Scotia
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia – A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections (ABCHI) is taking steps to fight autism, over 52,500 steps in less than an hour to be exact.
Founder, president and CEO Bill Redfern teamed up with the brand’s Atlantic Canada franchisees Rick Mayuk and Trevor Johnston to participate in Walk the Walk for Autism, an annual walking charity event sponsored by Autism Nova Scotia in June. Team Lauren and Alex, named for Redfern’s children living with autism, which included several ABCHI franchisees, took over 52,500 steps, and raised over $3,200 for individuals and families living with autism.
“This cause means the world to my family, as does the support from our A Buyer’s Choice family of franchisees,” said Redfern, who actively participates in autism awareness events. “We are committed to raising funds for autism research and promoting the support of those living with the disorder.”
Team Lauren and Alex was the second-highest fundraising team at the Halifax walk and the fifth highest in all of Nova Scotia, competing against nine walk locations and 44 teams around the province. Team Lauren and Alex raised $3,211 in total.
“At the end of the day, we’re in the home inspection business to help people. We’re ensuring the safety of individuals and families everywhere,” said Atlantic Canada Regional Owner Rick Mayuk. “That’s what we did here, too. We’re trying to help families make their homes safer, and being able to share that with Bill Redfern’s family is a real gift.”
This year’s Walk the Walk raised more than $212,100 total for Autism Nova Scotia, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Halifax. The organization is committed to realizing a world where all people living with autism spectrum disorder can live their lives fully.
Outside of participating in Walk the Walk, ABCHI supports autism research and funding through its official charity partnership with Autism Speaks Canada. Individual franchise partners across Canada have committed to donating a portion of their home inspections to Autism Speaks Canada.
