Generosity

This past weekend at the Adventure Race, we experienced people’s generous time and donations fundraising for Canuck Place. Everyone involved in this amazing event either donated their time to raise the funds, their time to organize and put on this great event and the generous people who donated their own money towards this great cause. Everyone had a role is surpassing our goal from last year by $30, 000.00. Congratulations!

The icing on the cake was when one is rewarded for raising a huge amount for a cause and they give their reward back. Two of the top fundraisers gave back their prices to the cause. A pair of airline tickets to anywhere in North America and Canuck tickets were all given back to help contribute even more money. The look on the faces of the organizers and Canuck Place personal were full of gratitude and surprise.

I have great admiration for all the people that took part in this event and it made me realize how worthwhile theses charitable events are and more importantly everyone’s generosity for one cause.
