Businesses on Board with Train Station Fundraiser

Nanaimo Vancouver Island British Columbia - More and more businesses are getting aboard the Young Professionals of Nanaimo campaign to restore the city's historic E&N Railway Station.
 
Recently, Windsor Plywood announced its support of the station restoration project and has committed more than $10,000 toward the project.
 
Windsor Plywood said it would offer a discount on some materials used in the restoration project.
 
Windsor's announcement follows a $5,000 donation from Central Drugs received earlier this month and puts the YPN just $350,000 shy of their goal of raising $2.4 million for the project.
 
"We are getting closer every day," said president Andre Sullivan says. "The community support behind this project is growing and the donation from Windsor Plywood is a great example of just how much this project means to the people of Nanaimo. There is still a gap to close, but with continued donations from both individuals and businesses we can get there."
 
The next big fundraising push for the Young Professionals is the Wild West Express event on 27 Mar 2010.
 
Tickets are now available for the event called "a dinner delegation to save the train station".
