Killam properties, a company founded in 2000 in the city of Nova Scotia, consist of apartment buildings throughout six provinces, namely Alberta, Newfoundland, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Islands. Moreover, Killam participates in various events and occasions by giving away grants to the lucky winner. Since 2016, Killam’s Shoot For Your School competition have been taking part in the AUS Championship Basketball Tournament which has over 17,000 spectators.
The Shoot For Your School competition encourages everyone at the event to come to Killam’s booth and try shooting as many baskets as they can in 30 seconds and each participant is asked to pick the university to which they want their score to go to. The winner of a grant of $2,000 is chosen based on the highest percentage of points which is points scored over shots taken while the winner of the $1,000 grant is chosen based on the highest amount of shots taken for that specific university. Whether it is the $2,000 or the $1,000 award, both go to the university’s basketball program.
The winner of Killam’s Shoot For Your School competition this and last year’s award is MUN for being the one with the highest percentage of points which totals to $4,000. For 2019, Memorial won by scoring 78 % of the shots taken for them, followed by CBU which had a score of 72% while Acadia came third with 71%.
Along with the Shoot For Your School competition, Killam still had some magic up their sleeve. The company went on with on-floor activations during the tournament, such as ball tosses to the crowd for prizes and free throw shots for bonus points for the university of their choosing.
And the icing on the cake comes with a currently running promotion for students that cuts down almost a thousand dollars by allowing them to skip August’s rent, removing a burden off of their back, especially before starting the academic year. Additionally, when you sign the lease, you enter into a draw for a $1,000 Visa card. All that on the condition that you sign up before April 30th.
