THEY WALKED WITH US on June 11, 2023! After a 3-year hiatus, the Toronto Challenge returned to Nathan Phillips Square on June 11, 2023. The annual event has been dedicated for 30 years to raising funds for organizations dedicated to seniors in the community and residents of long-term care homes.
Since CAH is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year, we wanted to mark the occasion! Thanks to the financial support of our partners, we were able to provide a welcoming meeting spot for the group of happy Francophone and Francophile participants. Our meeting point was quite visible, in CAH colours with a station offering mini-croissants and pains au chocolat from the French bakery La Bastille, washed down with coffee and tea. Colleagues, family and friends, pets, all were invited to this fun event. It was the perfect intergenerational activity. The City offered us a little warm-up before we set off. Water was provided along the circuit. And the walk allowed us to discover downtown Toronto.
For this occasion we are joining forces with our valued partners: Farfo, Entité 3, Entité 4 and Hélène Tremblay Lavoie Foundation. Over 30 participants walked for CAH! See our souvenir album of the event.
Evelyne Li, notre participante de 89 ans, était en vedette au DÉFI TORONTO!
Les organisateurs du Défi Toronto nous ont prévenu à l’avance que notre participante Evelyne Li, résidant à Place Saint-Laurent depuis belle lurette, était, à 89 ans, la marcheuse la plus âgée à avoir relevé le défi du circuit sur 1 km! Tout le monde l’a applaudie alors qu’elle se rendait au podium. Le fait qu’elle ait parcouru le circuit avec son déambulateur en a inspiré plus d’un, démontrant qu’avec détermination et en se donnant les bons outils, on peut avoir une vie active à tout âge.
Notre DÉFI TORONTO 2023 a recueilli 4 335 $ en dons individuels!
Nous avons recueilli 4 335 $ en dons individuels pour le Défi Toronto! En comparaison, en 2019 (le dernier Défi avant la pandémie), nous avions reçu un total de 3 935 $.
Ajoutez à cela l’appui généreux de nos partenaires pour le Défi Toronto 2023 pour couvrir les dépenses du Défi. Les fonds non utilisés pour l’événement s’ajouteront aux dons accordés à CAH tout au long de l’année.
