Congratulations Jay & Mike! - our 2009 Winners!
Jay & Mike finished seconds ahead of Allison and Leah at John Mcrae House in Guelph. 40 racers and 85 volunteers helped pull off this most succesful version of the Children's Foundation's largest fundraising event. The participants lived up to the SOAR motto to dig deep and aim high by bringing in over $64,300 in pledges for The Children's Foundation of Guelph and Wellington. This included the $8000 that Michael and Eric Balnar brought in on their own! Great competition and an amazing total for The Children's Foundation - once again SOAR was a true success.
SOAR 2009 saw teams travel through Guelph, Elora, Alma, Drayton, Elmira, St Jacobs and Conestogo. Teams were faced with challenges that included launching catapults, ziplining the Elora Gorge, eating chicken feet, reading braille, painting their partner's faces like lions and building fire with flint.
Thanks to all the great volunteers that came out to help, and of course to all our sponsors that funded such a unique and exciting adventure.
Stay tuned for more details and photos of the event.
