Sponsors and Partners

The Kids Eat Smart Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador is a provincial organization that ensures that children attend school well-nourished and ready to learn. Its breakfast clubs across the province are supported by more than 4,000 volunteers.

Sponsorship as a Way to Give Back

Kids Eat Smart is only one of the causes Applecore Interactive has actively supported over the past decade. "Sponsorship is one of the most rewarding promotional partnerships any business can experience," says C.O.O. Wilma Hartmann. "It is a way to give back to a community and to make a difference to those causes that are important to us."

Being a Part of Successful Growth

In the early 2000's Applecore worked with the Kids Eat Smart Foundation in its rebranding which now flourishes in the hands of the organization's own staff. Watching the organization grow and support more than 200 breakfast clubs today is great reward to any sponsor and partner.

Camaraderie Amongst Sponsors

The Foundation keenly recognizes the value of its sponsors and partners - something every business looks for when it chooses to partner. The camaraderie amongst Kids Eat Smart donors bridges the divide between business rivals - recognition of a great cause taps into the very best in corporate spirit. Says Wilma, "It has been a privilege to rub shoulders with the some of the region's greatest corporations in unified support of a great cause."

Our Other Partnerships

Applecore's current sponsorships also includes the 2010 Juno Awards Ruckus on the Edge, the Health Care Foundation, Prof. TA Loeffler's 2010 Everest expedition and the Applecore Women's Hockey team (whose favourite place is the top of the women's recreational league!)

De-stress Online with StressChat.ca

Every day thousands of employees, managers, customer service representatives, health care workers and emergency response professionals are faced with work-related stress that over time creates mental and physical illnesses.

Ontario stress counsellor Heidi Cowie realized that there is a big need to provide help in a different way. She decided it was time to act and started Stress Chat, a web-based counselling service available through online appointments and through live online chat. Stress Chat offers individual counselling as well as corporate programs. Clients are in control through making appointments online or through anonymous online chat in the case of an emergency. Stress Chat has a group of qualified and experienced stress counsellors on staff - an individual is paired with the most suitable counsellor after an initial online assessment.

Applecore is pleased to have partnered with Heidi to create her new website. Considering the health impact of unmanaged stress, this web-based service can prove to be invaluable to you and your work place. It is available when needed, offers help and is anonymous.

If you are considering personal counselling or a corporate program for your organization, visit stresschat.ca.

Countdown to the Big Ruckus

One big Ruckus is about to hit the Rock - a week long music fest with Canada's best and most popular musicians rocking it out in a grand finale on 18 April with the 2010 Juno Awards.

Applecore recently launched the new website, Ruckus on the Edge, for Juno Week.

But today no website is happy alone. To round out the effort, we also created a social media strategy with its own Facebook page (join more than 1700 other fans!), a Flickr photo stream (the pictures you see there is nothing compared to what is about to be added!), YouTube video channel (the party has already started!) and a Twitter stream (you got to stay up to date with the action!)

Canada's top musicians are coming to St. John's for the Junos - and so is a crowd of other people... see the week's schedule on the site. If you're one of the unlucky ones, don't feel left out - join the action online.
