Big THANK YOU for the wonderful response for the Run 4 Refugees fundraiser yesterday. We had 70 registered walkers and runners who braved the rain to complete the 5km course. Over 200 community members dropped by at the International Culture Display. We raised $6,000 in total including online, event day registrations and token donations. Here are some photos from the event. More will be coming. Stay tuned.

Run 4 Refugees is a local event to raise funds that will go to the Canadian Red Cross Ukraine Campaign. It is a combination of a 5km run/walk at Millennium Park and a Mini International Festival with fun activities and many ways to donate!
Register to run or create a team and have friends and family donate in support of you. If running's not your thing, come check out the small scale International Festival where there will be displays and activities to enjoy.
