ARE YOU READY FOR THE CHALLENGE?
Any Activity, Any Ability, Any Age, WE CHALLENGE YOU to get moving, get creative & have fun to raise funds for Community Health and Well-Being! Make every activity count to support your families, friends, colleagues, neighbours in our community that needs our services to help them to live their best lives possible, every day, regardless of their circumstances.
IN PERSON
We are hoping to celebrate better days ahead as we invite our participants to a community BBQ along with some fun activities, including VON's largest outdoor SMART® Exercise class, trail walk and scavenger hunt.
| DATE: | Saturday, June 15, 2024 | |
| LOCATION: | Lion's Park, Mt Brydges, ON | |
| KICK OFF TIME: | 10am |
VIRTUAL
Having a virtual component allows you to participate virtually your way in one day, one week, or all month, at your pace. Choose the activities you love whether it be running, walking the dog, swimming, canoeing, jumping on the trampoline, weight lifting, dancing, gardening, or taking SMART® Exercise classes just to list a few, however, your options are endless.
| DATE: | June 1-24, 2024 | |
| LOCATION: | Anywhere |
Track your activities by using a step tracking device or app. You can even track your activities manually; we have an easy-to use tracking form along with activity to km conversion chart found in our Toolkit.
REGISTRATION
We encourage everyone to register online beginning April 1, 2024.
Follow our simple how-to videos found in our Toolkit.
The Community Support Services are funded in part by the Provincial Government and program fees. VON Middlesex-Elgin relies on community support to fund program subsidies, equipment and staff education. Your continued support means so much to us and we are so grateful! It allows us to address the unique needs of our residents to maintain essential programs and services such as Adult Day Program, Bereavement Services, Home at Last, Meals on Wheels, SMART® Exercise & Falls Prevention Program and Accessible Transportation Services, just to name a few.
Individual fundraising looks a bit different these days and since you're able to participate your way, why not fund-raise your way! Engage your creative resources and encourage your team to think BIG, there is no limit to creativity!
Our Toolkit has everything you need from pledge form to helpful ideas to get you on your way.
Raise or donate $25 or more and receive a FREE VON Activity T-shirt as a token of our appreciation for your fundraising efforts!
