Twongo Canada "The Power of Team Giving"
Event to benefit the RCA
The Rotary Centre for the Arts is pleased to have Twongo Canada as a Presenting Sponsor of the Canada Show. The launch of the RCA Presents Season coincides with the launch of Twongo Canada.
The "Power of Team Giving" is a Public Relations event being held to raise awareness for the launch of Twongo Canada during the week of September 20th - 25th, 2010.
Funds raised from this event will be donated to the Rotary Centre for the Arts on Saturday, September 25th at the closing night performance of The Canada Show, the kickoff show of the RCA’s performance season.
Twongo is hoping the community embraces their exciting concept, brand new to Canada, which offers incredible deals from your favorite dining, shopping and entertainment establishments.
Twongo and participating vendors, including Hannah’s Lounge & Grill, Chop Leaf, Soda’s Gourmet Burgers & Fountain Shop, Beyond Wrapture and others will donate revenue generated during The Power of Team Giving fundraiser to the Rotary Centre for the Arts. The goal is to raise at least $10,000 to fund arts programs offered at the RCA. "We're ecstatic to be launching Twongo Canada in support of the Rotary Centre, the community and Arts in Kelowna and are grateful for this opportunity." said Michael Minor, CEO of Twongo Canada Ltd.
Twongo was created from the Chinese term, Tuangou, which translates to "team buying" or "group buying". Every day from September 20 - 25th on www.twongo.com, you can find a "Big Deal" which offers discount on goods & services. These offers will be sent to all RCA & Twongo subscribers. We invite you to share the deals via Facebook, Twitter or any RSS feed. The more people who take advantage of the Big Deal, the bigger the discount, (in many cases up to 60% off or more) and the greater the contribution to the RCA.
Enjoy the Twongo deals and this creative way to support the Rotary Centre for the Arts!

Twongo launched in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina in January 2010 and is expanding rapidly across the United States and now Canada.
