-PRESS RELEASE-
For a second time AthletesCAN - Canadian Olympians & National Team Athletes will scale the 1,776 steps of the second tallest building in the world, the CN Tower in the Embridge CN Tower Climb for United Way. This year, our team of athletes will be incredibly joined by our new Minister of Sports, Bal Gosal and Minister Lizon (MP for Mississauga-Cooksville).
The significance of this climb cannot be understated. It is both a physical challenge and social challenge of supporting our community. United Way is an incredible charity who has relentlessly provided support for over 50 years to the community.
“Donation supports a network of over 200 membership agencies providing vital social services to hundreds of thousands of people throughout the city—single parents, abused women, young children and teenagers, the elderly, the physically challenged, the homeless, and the many new immigrants who need help to realize their dreams of a better life in Canada. United Way Toronto is the only major funding organization that delivers significant core operating support to social service agencies.” United Way, Toronto
The involvement and commitment of athletes to social responsibility is a beautiful demonstration of the power of sports – improving the community around us to make a better Canada through social responsibility. Every one of us has the power to positively impact the lives of others, no matter how small.
Our team is committed to raising a minimum of $10,000. We will continue to fundraise until November 18, 2011, and encourage you to go online to support us.
