Future Electronics, through its foundation Build Hope Together, has announced a partnership with Friends of Children—a charity that has been providing vital support to families in northern British Columbia and the East Kootenays for over 26 years. This collaboration aims to give back to the community and support initiatives that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

The charity's remarkable story began when Prince George residents rallied to fund a life-saving transplant for infant Diego Carpino, raising over $100 000 through the "Baby Diego Campaign." What started as a local community effort has grown into an essential support system serving two-thirds of British Columbia.

Today, Friends of Children provides comprehensive assistance including travel funding for medical appointments, accommodation and meal support during treatment, connections to specialized equipment and therapies, plus emotional support and resource coordination. Serving over 60% of British Columbia, including remote and rural areas, Friends of Children has become a lifeline for families in need.

"Future Electronics recognizes how small acts of compassion can change lives," said Georgia Genovezos, Corporate Vice President of Digital Marketing. "We're proud to help Friends of Children ensure no family in the region faces medical challenges without support."

This partnership addresses growing challenges for rural families accessing healthcare, initially focusing on transportation and accommodation needs—the most significant barriers to treatment. Future Electronics' support will help sustain the charity's personalized approach that has assisted countless families since its creation by concerned community members thirty years ago.

Through this partnership, Future Electronics aims to support Friends of Children’s initiatives, including their travel and accommodation assistance programs, while helping raise awareness about the charity’s important mission. This collaboration reflects Future Electronics’ dedication to fostering a culture of compassion and giving back to the communities it serves.
