TELUS supports Salvation Army earthquake relief efforts in Japan
TELUS and its team members will donate $100,000 to The Salvation Army, Red Cross and UNICEF to assist in the earthquake relief efforts in Japan.
To help Canadians stay up-to-date on news and information from Japan, TELUS is making TV Japan available on free preview on channel 540 to all TELUS Optik TV customers.
In addition, TELUS customers can be a part of the relief efforts as well and can donate funds through their mobile devices.
TELUS customers can text QUAKE to 45678 to donate $10 to The Salvation Army in Canada.
“Doing our part to assist in relief efforts in Japan is important for TELUS because this disaster is not only affecting some of our team members, it’s also affecting our customers and their families,” said Jill Schnarr, TELUS vice-president of Community Investment and Engagement. “Through TELUS’ text-to-donate campaign we can have an immediate impact on the organizations working tirelessly to help the victims of this terrible tragedy.”
