Wheel Challenge 2008 a record breaker
(Apr 7, 2008) -
On March 29 the Steadward Centre's Austin O'Brien Satellite site hosted 17th annual Wheel Challenge for the second time and broke all previous attendance figures and fund-raising efforts.
This year’s event featured a relay challenge for Steadward Centre members, wonderful interactive displays, great draw prizes, a fantastic brunch and wonderful guests.
The Steadward Centre can attribute this year’s success to the hard work of each of our members. Countless hours were put in to collecting pledges and seeking donations. Their efforts were evident in the record breaking total of $15,752.30 raised to support The Steadward Centre. It is the continued support from our amazing volunteers, dedicated members and the enthusiastic staff that shapes the distinctive nature of The Steadward Centre and its programs.
These events are so important to our operations because they help to support our mission, increase awareness and exposure of our valuable programs, provide exceptional applied learning opportunities for students, and highlight the amazing spirit, athleticism and determination of our wonderful members.
We thank members, volunteers, Austin O’Brien for providing the facilities, staff, PERLS students with Campus Recreation, community organizations and the 2008 Organizing Committee for this successful event.
