My Story…
You've been asking about it, and it's finally here! The fifth annual O&A - Georgian Triangle Humane Society Walk for Pets Fundraiser!!!
As we were just short of our 2025 Kilometer goal, this year, O&A will be matching our 2025 commitment to the GTHS Walk for Pets! With an initial kickoff donation of $10,000 O&A has once again been recognized as the Title Sponsor of the event!!! In addition, after a 500 km deductible for the initial $10,000 donation, O&A will donate $1/1km the team walks up to a MAXIMUM of $5,000. After this (yes it doesn't stop there!), O&A will donate $5/2kms the team walks up to a MAXIMUM of another $5,000, equaling a total of $20,000!
If you've been doing the mental math, this means to reach O&A's maximum donation of $20,000, as a team, we need to walk a combined distance of 7,500km! Based on our current headcount, that equates to an average of 134km/per person. To break it down, with our challenge running almost 9 full weeks, that's less than 2.2kms a day!
The final celebration for walk-for-pets will be held by GTHS on Saturday, June 13th at Harbourview Park Collingwood. The event falls on a Saturday & attendance is optional, but how great would it be if some of us were able to join in for an afternoon of fun & festivities! The best part? Your dogs are not only welcome but are truly the guests of honor! The event is a great opportunity to close out the fundraiser, and to reflect on all the incredible walking you've done for the community! If you think you might be interested in attending, please mark it on your calendars. Another communication will be provided closer to the event with further information.
O&A Walk-For-Pets Challenge begins on Monday, April 13th.
Don't forget, every step counts. Little by little becomes a lot! We'll be hitting that 7500 kilometer target in no time!
