For more than 25 years, Katy’s Donation Day has brought the Stanpro team together around something bigger than business: giving back to the communities we call home.
Established in 1999, Katy’s Donation Day honors Katy Shebath’s spirit of generosity by bringing Stanpro’s charitable giving efforts together in one meaningful initiative. Since the first edition, we have donated approximately $1.3 million CAD, supporting causes ranging from medical research, homelessness and poverty relief, family support, community organizations, and other meaningful local initiatives.
Each year, a percentage of sales generated from the designated day is donated to more than 80 organizations and establishments that support causes close to the hearts of Stanpro employees and the communities we serve. This day is truly a company-wide effort, with employees from all departments coming together to prepare and fulfill orders, while customers contribute simply by making a purchase on Katy’s Donation Day.
Katy Shebath played a pivotal role alongside her brother, David Nathaniel, CEO of Ascot Capital Group, throughout her 32 years with Stanpro. She joined the company in 1986, beginning in administration, playing an instrumental role in the company’s growth and development. Over the years, she became an important force behind employee well-being, corporate culture, and Stanpro’s commitment to giving back to the community.
She was known as a highly organized and conscientious professional, but above all, she was recognized for her deep humanity and genuine care for others. Her compassion touched the lives of those around her, both within the company and beyond its wall. Throughout her life, Katy remained true to her generous nature, always making time to help those in need and encouraging others to do the same.
Every purchase made on Katy’s Donation Day helps support organizations working to make a difference in communities across Canada. This year, our contributions will help organizations address a wide range of needs, from healthcare and child support to poverty relief, animal protection, women’s shelters, and environmental initiatives.
From BC Children’s Hospital Foundation and BC Cancer Agency in British Columbia, to Ronald McDonald House in Saskatchewan, Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation and Jewish General Hospital Foundation in Quebec, and Alberta Children’s Stollery Hospital in Alberta, our donations reach organizations making a meaningful impact in communities across the country.
Causes We Support
Katy’s Donation Day is more than an annual tradition: it reflects the values Katy Shebath believed in generosity, compassion, community, and the importance of helping others.
For more than 25 years, what began as Katy’s vision to bring our charitable giving together has grown into a company-wide tradition that continues to make a difference across Canada. Every order, every employee contribution, and every customer who participates helps carry that vision forward.
Together, we are keeping Katy’s spirit of giving alive. One purchase, one organization, and one community at a time.
Thank you to our customers, employees, and partners for being part of Katy’s Donation Day and helping us continue a legacy that reaches far beyond our walls.
Every purchase matters! On December 2nd, a part of our day’s profit will be donated to charity. Contact your Stanpro representative to learn more and make your contribution count.
