Scotiabank Vancouver 5K & Half Marathon
On June 28, 2009, the YWCA Health + Fitness Centre team participated in the Scotiabank Vancouver Half Marathon and 5K Walk/Run.
With over 50 event participants and donors, we raised $16,850 for the YWCA Vancouver's Welcome to My Life and Boys 4 Real programs for Grade 7 girls and boys. These programs focus on giving youth positive skills that enable them to make a successful transition towards becoming responsible adults.
Thank you to everyone that ran and/or collected pledges in support of YWCA! A special recognition goes to Dr. Lorna Sent, a former YWCA Board Member, our highest fund raiser for the event. Her dedication and support to the YWCA is truly appreciated.
Donations are still being accepted on our team page, please click here, and all pledges will receive an official tax receipt.
