Ep 56: Guy Mersereau - A Corporate and Personal Philanthropist

Today's special guest is Guy Mersereau, Senior Vice President at Vallen Canada and Vallen Distribution Inc. (US). In this session, Mersereau shares how he runs a $1 million golf tournament annually, encourages team members across the country to engage with philanthropy, how they decide where funds go, and how nonprofits can access money raised through corporate golf tournaments.

Topics covered include:

• How the Cross Cancer Institute Charity Classic raises over $1 million in a single day
• Guy's work as a philanthropist, both personally and through the corporation
• Different revenue streams he's employed to raise money (like a parking spot auction and 50/50 draws)
• How Vallen encourages its branches to engage in philanthropy, and more!
