Inside Out is one of two beneficiaries of this year's Pride and Remembrance Run on Saturday June 28. Last year the Pride and Remembrance Run raised record-breaking funds of close to $100,000 for their beneficiaries. Lets help reach that goal once again, or better yet, surpass it!
1. Run or Walk - You can run the 5k course or walk a 3k route. We have registered an Inside Out team called the INSIDE OUT REEL RUNNERS. If you are interested in joining our team, you can register here. Choose to register as part of a team (fee is $32) and choose the Inside Out team from the drop-down. Then start bugging your friends to go online and sponsor you! We are going to organize some fun training runs post-Festival. Or register individually online at www.priderun.org.
There is nothing like a little friendly competition to help raise everyone's game! Inside Out will offer a pair of tickets to the Opening Night of the Cirque du Soleil production of SALTIMBANCO playing at the Air Canada Centre on August 13 to the top Inside Out fundraiser. The second place fundraiser will win a free Inside Out membership for the 2009 Festival. To be eligible, you must join the Inside Out team when you register.
2. Pledge a Runner - If you don't feel like getting up at the crack of dawn on the Saturday of Pride, you can always soothe your conscience by pledging a runner. You can pledge online here. Please choose one of the Inside Out team members to pledge!
3. Volunteer - We are going to need some volunteers on race day morning. Exact times to be determined but it will probably be around 8 am to early afternoon (or a portion thereof). Also, we will need volunteers one weekend afternoon in June for race kit stuffing - date to be announced. If you are interested, email winnie@insideout.ca.
Or you can register as a volunteer directly on the Pride and Remembrance Run website at www.eventsonline.ca/events/pride_run/volunteer.html.
