The Canadian Women’s Foundation, in partnership with GoodLife Fitness will host a new pledge based fundraising event on April 30, BootCamp for Shelter from the Storm. This first ever national BootCamp for charity will challenge participants physically in support of abused women and their children
facing the biggest challenge of their lives.
The Ottawa BootCamp will be held on April 30 at the Queensview GoodLife at 2655
Queensview Dr. All donations will support local shelters and programs that help women rebuild their lives;
that teach young people about healthy relationships; and that counsel children who have witnessed violence, to help them heal and prevent them from becoming victims or abusers themselves.
The registration fee is $20, with a $300 fundraising minimum. All participants will receive a BootCamp t-shirt and one week GoodLife membership, with incentive prizes increasing with donations. Our top national participant will receive a Rogers Blackberry, a one year GoodLife membership and a $1,000 Winners/HomeSense gift card, while our local top fundraisers in each city will receive a Rogers Blackberry and $500 Winners/HomeSense gift card with more incentive prizing to be announced in the coming weeks.
With the BootCamp for Shelter from the Storm lasting 60 minutes, a great way to fundraise is to ask friends and family to sponsor a minute of your time for $5. After all, if you can do a BootCamp, the fundraising is the easy part.
