Cranbrook Business Helps Out with Haitian Relief

{bizblog_img_alt_text}

Affordable Autoglass owner Chris Hirn reaches out to help Haitian victims.

Cranbrook business owner of Affordable Autoglass, Chris Hirn, was so moved by the horrific images of Haitian earthquake victims, he decided to do something about it. So he has devised a plan to donate $25 to $75 for every windshield job he does between now and February 15, 2010.

All proceeds will go to the Canadian Red Cross from Hirn’s fund raising efforts. So far Affordable Autoglass has raised over $750 and is planning to host a charity car wash on Saturday January 30th as well.

Hirn says that whatever they raise at his Autoglass shop, the Government of Canada will match his contribution. We salute Chris Hirn and his staff at Affordable Autoglass for helping out with Haitian crisis.

For more information you can contact Chris Hirn at 250 421 9082.

Chris Hirn would like to thank his sponsors; Signwriter, Kootenay Kwik Print and MagnetSigns.
