OTHER ACTIVITIES AND PARTNERSHIPS
On December 8, more than 135 REALTORS® came out to participate in the 2022 Christmas Kettle Campaign in London
and St. Thomas, in support of The Salvation Army Ontario Division. Over $14,000 was raised at kettle locations across
the region. Huge thanks to all the LSTAR Members who volunteered their time and participated in the campaign.
In December, Members also took part in the 2022 BusinessCares Food Drive, in support of the London Food Bank, with
50 volunteers collecting food and/or money donations at three London stores. Volunteers collected more than 5,000
pounds of food and over $2,100 in cash donations.
LSTAR also continued to partner with the Canadian Blood Services as a Partner for Life.
PARTNER FOR LIFE: CANADIAN BLOOD SERVICES
In 2012, LSTAR joined nearly 600 partner companies, including a number of our fellow real
estate associations, in becoming a Partner for Life with the Canadian Blood Services. Partners
for Life is a nationwide program designed for corporate and community organizations.
Did you know that it could take up to 50 donors to help a car accident victim and up to eight
donors a week to help someone with leukemia? That's a lot of blood! And the demand for
blood and blood products of all blood types just keeps growing. In fact, about 500,000 more
Canadians are needed to become donors to meet the demand.

Step 3: Feel GREAT about yourself!
Maybe you already donate regularly. Maybe this is your first time. It doesn't matter. By
registering just this once, each donation you make wherever you make it will automatically
be attributed to LSTAR's Partners for Life team from that point on. REALTORS® give back to
the community by giving the gift of life.
