On Saturday, September 12, we helped raise over $275,000.00 for the kids at the Canuck’s Place Children's Hospice. We have been operating this annual event for the past 4yrs and this was the most successful year by far.
A little history…
Canuck Place www.canuckplace.org offers a comprehensive continuum of care to over 350 children and teens with life-threatening illnesses and their families throughout British Columbia.
This vision became reality in November 1995 when Canuck Place opened as the first free standing children’s hospice in North America. Today it is recognized globally as a leader in pediatric palliative care sharing knowledge, expertise and research regionally, nationally and internationally to assist in the further development of best practices in this field.
For the past 4years we have been fundraising for Canuck Place and had success with our efforts. During the Christmas season we put our bodies on the line and sell 5min blocks over a 2hr period for each coach. This special night is called ‘Train the Trainer’ where customers are able to train us for those 5min and for 50$, our sweat becomes equity and it donated towards Canuck Place. In the summer, we produce an adventure race in the north shore. The Innovative Fitness Canuck Place Adventure Race is a team event that sends teams on a kayak, mtn bike and trail running race…on Saturday, it was time to do it all again and our efforts as mentioned helped raise over a quarter of a million dollars!
