Media Advisory/Photo Opportunity: 2,000 Participants Walk to Support the Canaccord Genuity Great Camp Adventure Walk on September 27
Second annual family adventure walk to benefit SickKids
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 09/24/14 -- This Saturday, September 27, join 2,000 participants, volunteers and sponsors as they embark on the second annual Canaccord Genuity Great Camp Adventure Walk presented by Sport Chek to benefit SickKids. This event starts and ends at Fort York and takes participants on an adventure walk through the streets of downtown Toronto with activity-filled stops (campsites) along the route. It is the only event of its kind in Canada.
Teams of moms, dads, babies in strollers, toddlers, teenagers, grandparents, corporate groups, family members and their dogs will journey through the streets of Toronto, participating in camp-themed activities at seven campsites designed to challenge and entertain. Activities include relay races, water play, a scavenger hunt, tug of war, dance lessons, arts and crafts, s'mores and more. There will be a special campsite at the 5 kilometre mark adjacent to The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) called the Sport Chek 'Camp Spirit of Sport.' There, walkers will have the opportunity to rub shoulders with Canadian Olympians while enjoying sport-themed, interactive activities.
Once participants have walked as far as they can go, they can walk or take a bus back to Fort York to enjoy the Canaccord Genuity Fun Zone, featuring live exotic animals, pony rides and one of three closing campfires held in the afternoon.
Funds raised through this event will support the Possibilities Fund at SickKids, dedicated to improving the health of children. Community support like this helps SickKids provide the best in family-centred, compassionate care, to lead in scientific and clinical advancement, and to prepare the next generation of leaders in child health.
