Read the latest updates from CAA Niagara.
In 2018, CAA Niagara decided to pool its donations and significant sponsorship dollars to fund a new, more focused corporate giving program, now known as CAA Niagara Community Boost.
In its inaugural year, CAA Niagara selected the Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre and the Distress Centre Niagara to each receive a $10,000 donation. In addition to the initial financial contribution, CAA Niagara promoted these Niagara charities through a variety of channels which include the CAA Magazine, social media, community events, and a wrapped flatbed truck.
