On Dec 10th we hosted our annual Train the Trainer fundraiser event benefiting both the www.canuckplace.org/ and www.friendsforzambia.org/ The common bond between the two are they are for the benefit for children.
The event is 12-13yrs old and has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years..
In November, the TTT board goes up. 2hrs from 6-8pm are split into 24, 5min blocks and are sold for 50$. The purchaser gets 5min per block they buy to do whatever training they see fit. With some rules: no food or alcohol. As the event approaches, the anticipation builds and spots are filled up one by one.
This year, we started our warm up at 5:30 and continued to mentally prepare what was going to be happening within 30minuts. Meyrick Jones of IF Portmoody was our mc and our music supplied some extra ambiance.
For 5-10-15min we can be trained very hard. There are some mean people out there! But all in all the effort is only major for 2hrs and the results are massive. With 3 facilities hosting, we were able to raise close to 47,000$ which will assist many children and benefit those in need.
Another opportunity to do something positive and helpful for the universe. For every action there is a reaction…It’s important to embrace every opportunity and be your 100%
