Holiday Jumble Game Created to Raise Money for SickKids

RL to donate $1 for every unique player 

Hashtag: #HolidayJumble

RL Solutions, a Toronto-based healthcare software company has developed Holiday Jumble—a digital game created in support of The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). Designed with a Christmas spin on the saga everyone loves, players are tasked with helping Santa organize his workshop in time for the big day--and an even better cause. Santa and RL are asking you to play and spread the word in support of reaching the company's $20,000 donation goal.

"The holiday season is a reminder to us all about the importance of giving, and no organization has given more hope to children and their families than SickKids," said Sanjay Malaviya, president and CEO of RL Solutions. "We created Holiday Jumble as a token of our appreciation for everything that SickKids does, and are honoured to have the chance to give something back to an organization that has given our community so much."

As a vibrant, young-minded company located in the heart of Toronto, RL is a tight-knit team with a passion for technology in healthcare. Combining their love for software and meaningful work, creating a holiday game for a greater cause was a natural fit!

Holiday Jumble was released today, and can be played on web browsers on mobile devices and computers. For every unique Holiday Jumble player, RL has pledged to donate $1 to SickKids. Players also have additional chances to add to RL's donation goal by achieving high scores and reaching different tiers.

What a great event for support of Diabetes and the JDRF. The walk was so unique you even got your own FITBIT! Thank you for the invite TELUS!

The Background

This was the 8th year of TELUS’ title sponsorship of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s (JDRF) signature, nationwide fundraising event, the TELUS Walk to Cure Diabetes. As you likely know, the walk raises money for JDRF to continue funding critical research to find a cure for diabetes and its complications. This research helps develop advanced treatments to improve the lives of people living with Type 1 Diabetes.

 

The TELUS Walk to Cure Diabetes is also a signature event in our TELUS Days of Giving initiative. In its 10th year, TELUS Days of Giving brings together 16,000 team members, retirees, family and friends across Canada and around the world to volunteer for local causes of their choice to make positive, heartfelt and lasting connections within the community. As a company that is dedicated to health and technology, the Walk to Cure Diabetes is a cause that’s especially close to our hearts.

 

The Challenge

The challenge, if you were keen to accept it, is to sign up for your local walk and encourage your friends, family and online community to join you. But that’s not all. We also want to provide you with a Fitbit, courtesy of TELUS, so you can prepare for the walk and track your progress.

The hashtags used were #actsofgood and #TELUSWalk hashtags and the @telus handle.

The Goal

The goal is simple –they wanted to get as many Canadians as possible walking for a cure and helping raise to awareness for the amazing work being done by the JDRF. They also encouraged people to donate to this very important cause.

We believe a cure will be found within our lifetime, but we must work together to be successful. Your help will bring us one step closer to finding a cure.
