The amount of donations raised so far for our Défi sportif is $88,942, which represents more than 118% of the goal ($75,000). This is a record!
Added to this was the $2,500 prize for the organization with the highest number of participating runners. Thank you to everyone who ran alongside us!
This year, our Challenge allowed 137 people to participate in the Montreal 21K to run or walk 5, 10 or 21 km to raise funds for our sustainable development projects. Participants could run at Parc Jean-Drapeau on April 22 or complete the distance run anywhere in the world. The sun was out for the day, which began with a warm-up session offered by Rich'Art from Djamboola Fitness. This brought a nice dynamic to this unifying sports event!
Our success was possible thanks to the efforts of the runners who showed perseverance in their fundraising. We’d like to thank and congratulate each and every one of our participants for this success.
