Congratulations to the Grads!!!

Diamond Delivery is pleased to be involved with the "Friends Of Fuga Society" and others in sponsoring 12 students from Fuga in their pursuit of a Bachelor's Degree in Education. The island of Fuga is located at the Northern tip of the Philippines, just south of Taiwan, and with approximately 2000 people, has two schools that can only provide education up to grade six - after that, the students need to leave the island to further their education.

These are life changing experiences for these students, and after four years, the first of these students have graduated from university with their degrees. In addition to providing room and board to the students. The "Friends Of Fuga Society" has also provided the students and local grade schools in the district additional assistance in the form of books, clothing and school supplies.

Nightshift Ministries

Nightshift believes that every man, woman and child have the right to be treated with love, respect and dignity regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, religion, income or profession.

Since January 2004, Nightshift provides counseling, daily hot meals, groceries and clothing to our community’s homeless 365 days a year via outreach street programs.

The R. Diamond Group is very pleased to be a supporter of Nightshift’s Annual Charity Golf Classic, raising funds and awareness to increase quality of life in our communities. This year, the golf tournament will be held on Saturday June 13, at Northview Golf & Country Club. For more information, please click here.

The R. Diamond Group of Companies is a proud supporter of what is soon to be a sweeping international initiative to end bullying. In the fall of 2007, two young men became aware of a grade 9 student who had been bullied for wearing a pink polo shirt to school. Instead of retaliating with violence, these remarkable young men went to their local dollar store and purchased 50 pink shirts, distributing them to their high school friends to wear in a show of solidarity to the young man who was bullied. This simple act of kindness garnered the attention of many, including Christy Clark, who was inspired to find a way to leverage their actions into something bigger, and “Pink Shirt Day” was born!

This Christmas season Diamond again joins The Beat 94.5 FM for their 7^th Annual Holiday Toy & Food Drive supporting the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, The Greater Vancouver Food Bank and The Salvation Army.

Our goal this year is to collect 5000 pounds of food (enough to fill a 5 ton truck) and we have issued a challenge on the Beat 94.5 for all other trucking companies to meet or beat our goal.

On Friday, December 12, Diamond will deliver it to the Downtown Costco where the Beat 94.5 will be broadcasting live and collecting donations until 6pm

Festival of Trees

Diamond Delivery participated in the 22nd Annual Festival of Trees in support of BC Children's Hospital on November 19, 2008.

Proceeds from the Festival went towards the Campaign for BC Children helping to ensure children in BC continue to receive the best care available for many years to come.

Cancer touches all of us.

And, in a strange way, Cancer unites us. We all know someone who has battled Cancer. Some of us have experienced the tragedy first hand when a family member has fought bravely and lost.

Diamond Delivery has made a generous donation in the memory of Devon Sutton-Havard to the Canadian Cancer Society. Devon was a 19 year old resident of Aldergrove, BC who was beloved by his family, friends and community. He fought valiantly for 1 ½ years before succumbing to the terrible illness.

As an example of good Corporate Stewardship, Diamond Delivery challenges all other Lower Mainland businesses to join the fight against Cancer by donating generously to the Canadian Cancer Society. Let’s make Cancer history.

Diamond Staff Cook Up a Storm

Throughout the summer of 2008, Diamond Delivery held several customer appreciation neighbourhood barbeques within the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. Diamond staff put on their aprons and cooked up a storm, providing burgers, dogs, and friendly conversation to the staff and neighbours of their customers. Barbeque season has come to a close, but watch for our team to be in your neighbourhood beginning June 2009, and watch our promotions page for new exciting contests in the months to come

We at Diamond Delivery have a heart for West Africa and its people.
