Pembridge proudly supports the community through sponsorships and contributions to various charitable organizations across the country including Easter Seals, Operation Red Nose, P.R.O. Kids, Women in Insurance Cancer Crusade (WICC), and many others.
Operation Red Nose ... Making Communities a Little Safer this Holiday Season
Pembridge is a proud Gold sponsor of the 2011 Operation Red Nose season. Pembridge staff will be onsite in Newmarket/Aurora on the evening of Friday December 9th, so give us a call if you’ve been drinking and we’ll make sure you get home safely.
What is Operation Red Nose?
It’s a volunteer driving service provided during the holiday season to all motorists who have been drinking or don’t feel fit to drive their own vehicle. It is a unique way of getting a safe, free ride home in your own car without getting behind the wheel impaired.
How does the service work?
The service is provided by a team of three volunteers. Two of these three volunteers ride with the client in his/her vehicle while the other volunteer follows them behind in his/her own car. It is a free, confidential service but donations are accepted and encouraged. Donations collected fund local youth programs and other various charities.
Operation Red Nose is made possible through the support of the Ontario Safety League and the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association, as well as the commitment and generosity of volunteers.

Pembridge Teams Up with Easter Seals
For the past five years Pembridge has been a proud supporter of Easter Seals, sponsoring their annual Power Play ball hockey tournaments that take place across Ontario. This year Pembridge sponsored tournaments in North Bay, Ottawa and London.
Since their formation in 1922, Easter Seals Ontario has been dedicated to helping create a better life for children and youths with physical disabilities. The Power Play ball hockey tournaments are just one of the many initiatives organized by Easter Seals to not only bring together people with physical disabilities, but also to raise awareness and funds for the organization and all the important work that they do.
Pembridge would like to thank all those who participated in these events, helping make them so successful. The Ottawa tournament raised over $11,100, the North Bay event raised over $13,000, and since it began in 2000, the London tournament has raised over $290,000. Pembridge would like to congratulate Easter Seals on this success and commend them for the important work they do to help children and families affected by physical disabilities.
