Giving back.
We strive to not only be a good company; but also to be good to the community and society. For us, supporting charities and being part of a global community is in our company’s – and people’s – DNA. We serve the community and encourage employees to participate in:
– Fundraising events to support our two corporate charities – World Vision and Cyrus Centre.
– Volunteering our time for various community-based events, including food drives for the Abbotsford Archway Food Bank.
– In 2017, during Phantom’s 25th anniversary year, we raised over $150,000 for Habitat for Humanity’s Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project building affordable housing for families across Canada.
– In 2021, Phantom held a haircut fundraiser, and raised $20,000 for a yearly scholarship at the University of the Fraser Valley, where students can learn the Halq’eméylem language of the Stó:lō people.
