Calling All Runners, Walkers and Wheelers! Sign up for the Vancouver Scotiabank Charity Challenge!

November 30, 2015

Is your New Year's resolution is to try something new, kickstart a fitness routine or contribute to a charity? Why not combine all three and join BC Wheelchair Basketball Society's team for the 2016 Vancouver Scotiabank Charity Challenge on June 26th, 2016! Whether you want to run the 5k or the half marathon, you'll have fun while giving back to the wheelchair basketball community. All money raised will go towards replacing the aging wheelchairs in our wheelchair loan program.

Best of all, if you sign up by Dec. 8th, you'll be entered into a draw to win a $100 gift certificate to The Running Room to help kickstart your training with some new swag. For every person you recruit, you'll receive one more entry!

Here's how it works:

  • Respond to this email or email sian@bcwbs.ca to express your interest to run. We will cover your registration fee and help you get registered.
  • Recruit your friends and family to run. The more the merrier!
  • Raise at least $500. Your donors will all receive tax receipts for their donations.
  • Run, walk or wheel a 5k or a half marathon on June 26th.

For more information, email Sian Blyth at sian@bcwbs.ca or call  (604) 333-3531.
