We couldn't be more thrilled to share the incredible success of our first-ever Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser in support of East Wellington Community Services! Thanks to everyone for donating and rallying for weeks prior to the event date, we surpassed our initial goal of $20,000 in a truly spectacular fashion.

Together, we raised an astounding $69,923, exceeding our expectations beyond measure. Each ask, each step, and each smile – all incredibly worth it! THANK YOU

Event Highlights:

On the big night, our walkers and team captains had an absolute blast! They checked in, snagged their exclusive CNOY toque, and warmed up with the incredible Christine from Erin Fitness before hitting the pavement for a 2-5km walk. While on the walk, they were able to warm up at our rest stop tables to enjoy some delicious granola bars and hot chocolate

Afterwards, it was time to refuel with delicious chilli and cookies and groove to beats from DJontop. The fun didn't stop there – our walkers struck poses at the Hollow Hills Photobooth, capturing memories that'll last a lifetime!

Heartfelt Thanks:

  • Team Captains: Your dedication and leadership were inspiring, rallying passionate teams who embraced our cause wholeheartedly.

  • Walkers: Thank you for braving the cold with determination and enthusiasm, making a real difference one step at a time.

  • Volunteers: Your hard work and dedication ensured the event's success, from setup to cheering on our walkers. We're grateful for your fantastic support.
