During this time of social distancing, Niagara Health Foundation is encouraging children to stay active, while giving back to their community. This year, the popular Kids Ultimate Challenge fundraiser in support of the Children’s Health Unit of Niagara Health is going virtual.
This 10-day, online, interactive event will be a platform for children to showcase their accomplishments while raising funds to support the youngest patients at Niagara Health.
“Kids Ultimate Challenge is one of the most anticipated events of the summer,” says Chris Green, Director of Communications, Marketing and Community Engagement at Niagara Health Foundation. “Our virtual event is a unique opportunity for our community to come together virtually for an important cause. The proceeds from the event will support the purchase of life-saving equipment for the Children’s Health Unit of Niagara Health.”
The event will take place from June 12th to June 21st and will involve a series of challenges that can be done safely, while distancing. Participants will receive a printable name bib, participant t-shirts, and medals to foster a sense of community. Challengers will participate in challenges, receive points, win prizes, and support a great cause!
