琉璃神社 company Second Slumber has teamed up with Okanagan College to host a fundraising event featuring a viewing of the company鈥檚 appearance on Dragons鈥� Den.

The company鈥檚 episode will air on the popular CBC TV show on Nov. 3, and fans and friends can view the show at Okanagan College鈥檚 event the same day at 8 p.m. (PST). Second Slumber鈥檚 team includes former OC professor Rick Maddison and also employs several current OC students and alumni.

Second Slumber pitched its business model to the Dragons in May of this year to secure funding to be able to amplify the business. Second Slumber repurposes lightly used mattresses that have been returned to retailers within a 100-night window and resells them at lower prices.

This provides in-need families with a better night鈥檚 sleep, keeps mattresses out of landfills, and certifies the mattress companies as a zero-waaste retailer.

The fundraiser will include local food and drink pairings, and the company commits partial proceeds of every mattress sold to the Canadian Mental Health Association in 琉璃神社.
