EDMONTON — TELUS today announced its further commitment to the Edmonton Fringe Festival with a special offer supporting the largest festival of its kind in North America.
From August 13-23, TELUS will donate $25 from the sale of every TELUS TV subscription sold in Edmonton/Alberta Capital Region to Edmonton Fringe Theatre Adventures.
“This additional support from TELUS will go a long way to keep the Fringe healthy and vibrant for future generations,” says Julian Mayne, executive director of The Fringe. “Twenty-five dollars for each new customer in Edmonton who subscribes to TELUS TV during the Festival has the potential to make a huge impact on Fringe Theatre Adventures.
