CLOSED – The Most Important Giveaway of 2024

We get excited when we partner with TELUS Friendly Future Foundation® (the Foundation) for a giveaway. Here are three good reasons why!

ONE – There’s a chance to win great prizes,
TWO – The winner gets to help their community with a donation,
THREE – Making a difference in the lives of over 2 million youth in communities across Canada each year.

As a bonus, all of us can feel fantastic for raising awareness for an organization that helps youth reach their full potential.

In 2023, the Foundation launched the $50-million TELUS Student Bursary Fund – the largest bursary fund in Canada. The GetConnected community has been tasked with raising awareness about this program that helps youth experiencing financial need and committed to making a difference pursue their dream of attending college or university.

Let’s find out what we’re playing for!

Win a Great Prize

To help motivate you, the Foundation has provided us with one of the most innovative smartphones today. The Google Pixel 7 128GB, valued at $569, is powered by the all-knowing people in Mountain View, California. Loaded with the cleanest version of the Android OS, this phone also has access to the latest features faster than other Android smartphones. AI features make it one of the most capable devices on the planet.

A Gift To Your Community

What makes entering this giveaway so worth it, besides winning a new smartphone, is also one of our favourite parts. The Foundation also provides the winner with a $250 donation to a Canadian registered charity of your choice.

The combination of both prizes is valued at $819.

Help Youth in Canada Access Higher Education

Entering this giveaway helps youth in Canada between the ages of 17 and 29 access educational bursaries from the Foundation. With 75% of students finding it difficult to afford their education and 1 in 3 students considering dropping out due to financial hardship, a $ 3,000 – 5,000 bursary can make a real difference.

We will challenge you to learn about the exceptional students that the TELUS Student Bursary has already helped while getting the word out to those who need this help the most. Are you ready?
