A pair of work gloves can do more than protect your hands. Through our first STARS x MOTIF glove campaign, participating companies helped us raise $18,192 for STARS air ambulance! Our team recently visited the hangar to present the donation in person.
We arrived with a big cheque and plenty of questions, and we left with an even greater appreciation for the people behind STARS and the work they do.
A memorable welcome to the hangar
As we arrived the STARS helicopter was returning from a call, giving our team the opportunity to watch it land. Seeing the aircraft come back from a mission was a powerful introduction to the visit and a reminder of the purpose behind our campaign.
The pilots and medics were incredibly generous with their time. They showed us around the helicopter, answered our many questions, and gave us a closer look at their work. We even had the chance to climb aboard and sit inside.
For our team, it was inspiring to meet the people whose work this donation helps support. Their knowledge, dedication, and willingness to share their experience made the visit something we’ll remember.
Meaningful merch, shared impact
The STARS x MOTIF campaign brought together custom branded work gloves and an opportunity for businesses to give back. Companies could order something practical for their teams while helping support critical care and emergency transport across the Prairies.
Together, those orders added up to an $18,192 donation.
Presenting the cheque was a proud moment, but the credit belongs to everyone who took part. To each company that ordered gloves and supported our first campaign: thank you. You helped turn a useful, everyday item into a meaningful contribution.
And to the STARS team: thank you for welcoming us into the hangar, sharing your time, and giving us a glimpse into the skill and care behind every mission.
Looking ahead to 2027
Our first campaign showed what we can accomplish together, and we’re ready to build on it.
With a new glove design and a $40,000 fundraising goal for 2027, we’re inviting more businesses to get involved. If your team could use custom branded work gloves, this is an opportunity to put your next order to work in more ways than one.
