“Season 5, Episode 2 – Matchmaker”

DKI Canada

It was ambitious. Especially at a time of year when many might be experiencing donation exhaustion. But DKI Canada felt otherwise - and issued a challenge to prove it.

It agreed to match donations to Ronald McDonald House Charities, which ultimately raised a total of $150,000.  DKI Canada CEO, Chris Schmidt, explains how it all unfolded – in record time – and exceeded expectations.

Giving back is what DKI does – and not just its corporate head office.

We speak to Lori Perizzolo, president and CEO of DKI – Calgary, about the passion he and his teams have for giving back to their city. And what his reaction was upon learning that commitment earned DKI – Calgary the DKI Evolve Community Impact Award.
