Do something unexpected this Valentine's Day

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner it means that many of us are scrambling to come up with just the right gift. The drive to choose the ultimate romantic present is so strong that many people simply cave under the pressure. Are pricey earrings the right choice? Will dinner out be enough? Instead of focusing on a mass marketed item, why not opt for a unique, one of a kind gift that truly shows the person you care.

Many of us rarely take the time to let our partner know how much they mean to us. CAN Fund’s recent Celebrate Impact, Impact Success campaign wants you to celebrate those who have impacted your life by selecting three words that embody who that person is to you. Do you want to tell them that they are ambitious, brave and courageous or how about fearless, passionate and selfless? Your choices are then featured on an 8×8 acrylic gloss finish painting, created by artist Jane Roos, so your CAN Fund 3 Words Original Painting comes as a wonderful surprise.

Looking for another one of a kind gift idea? Show the love of your life that they have the key to your heart, with a pair of Key to My Success cufflinks. The sterling silver key cufflinks, another CAN Fund Impact Gift, is also a great way to tell your Valentine he has the key to your heart. Not only do these gifts show your Valentine what they mean to you but you will also be directly supporting Canadian athletes training to qualify to represent Canada at the Games in Rio this summer.

Becoming a world class athlete requires serious financial commitment, from travel to training camps and competitions, equipment, coaching, proper nutrition and team fees.  CAN Fund is a non-profit organization that provides athletes with what they need to succeed on the world stage.  Where the Fund plays a significant role in the years leading up to the Games, when no one is watching or even aware of an athlete’s journey to be the best in the world.

Describe the love of your life in three words or give them the key to your heart this Valentine’s Day.
