The 2024 “Support the Blazer” campaign by the Spark Charity Foundation, spearheaded by Nicholas Regina, CEO and co-founder of Spark Financial Group, was a creative and impactful fundraising initiative. Running from November 6 to December 6, 2024, the campaign aimed to raise awareness and funds for Waves of Changes for Autism, a charity dedicated to supporting children with Autism.
The campaign’s unique approach involved Nicholas Regina wearing a blazer for 30 consecutive days, regardless of the occasion, to symbolize commitment and spark conversations about giving back. This year, he donned one of Don Cherry’s iconic blazers, adding a touch of Canadian cultural significance to the initiative. ​
The campaign successfully surpassed its fundraising goal, raising over $102,000 against a target of $100,000. This achievement reflects the community’s generosity and the campaign’s effectiveness in engaging supporters.​ In summary, the 2024 “Support the Blazer” campaign combined personal storytelling, cultural symbolism, and community engagement to support a worthy cause, demonstrating the power of innovative approaches in charitable fundraising.
