Research notes
Created 2026-10-24 by an AI research pass for #103 (A2); not reviewed by a person. The SCAW page gives no date or start year. The 2019 Sleep Country Canada release (403 when opened; details from a search-result summary) calls it the fourth annual event, held on Giving Tuesday, so startYear 2016 is inferred. Sleep Country Canada's role after 2019 is not confirmed. Donation amounts ($2 student, $5 corporate, $40 per bedkit) are on the SCAW page. The health message is light; it is mainly a fundraiser. To verify: startYear 2016; whether it still runs on Giving Tuesday; Sleep Country partnership.
