Smoke & Felt Returns to Coldest Night of the Year 2023 as Event Sponsor

(RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO) –  Smoke & Felt is excited to once again sponsor Coldest Night of the Year. Happening on February 25, 2023, Coldest Night of the Year is a family-friendly walk to raise money for local charities serving people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness.

“I’m thrilled to have S&F participate in Coldest Night of the Year,” said Matt Dusenbury, founder of the creative communications firm. “Our work with local not-for-profit organizations and community groups is focused on delivering direct results for those who need them. Sponsoring this year’s event is another way we are working to bring positive progressive change to our communities.”

CNOY is a moment each year when tens of thousands of Canadians step outside the warmth and comfort of home to shine a light of welcome and compassion in their communities. Since 2011, the Coldest Night of the Year has raised over $57,000,000 across Canada in 166 communities – 100% of net proceeds stay local to support CNOY charity partners.

Smoke & Felt participated in last year’s event following its collaboration with Blue Door, a not-for-profit organization that provides emergency housing for the homeless population of York Region. Smoke & Felt returns to CNOY this year as a Route Sponsor.
