We Did It Again!
June 6, 2011
For the 7th year in a row, SOAR 2011 was blessed with a group of outstanding teams that surpassed our previous record fundraising total by bringing in $74,373 for the Children's Foundation of Guelph and Wellington. Wow!
Earning the top fundraising award was Lindsay & Taylor, who raised $12,960! Impressive!
This year's race was won by Chris and Dave. After racing for 18 hours over two days, they arrived at the finish line only one minute ahead of Joe & Elizabeth. Arriving 8 minutes later were Aaron & Jodi and Jenn & Rohit. Easily our most exciting finish to date.
The weekend saw teams eating pig slop, flying in small planes, shooting rifles, performing musical numbers, and much more. Congratulations to all the teams for the great fundraising and for the spirit they brought to this one of a kind event.
