Ottawa Race Weekend 2008
Support Causeway Foundation

Are you interested in running/walking for a great cause? Join the Causeway Foundation at the Ottawa Race Weekend on May 24-25, 2008. Raise pledges for Causeway Work Centre’s runners, and help support people with mental health problems and other disabilities every step of the way!

We Need Your Help:

Through your participation in this event you can help raise money for the programs and services at Causeway Work Centre. The Work Centre is a community-based mental health agency that offers a range of employment and educational programs and other supports to persons with mental health problems, other disabilities, and those who are homeless. The Causeway Work Centre provides the supports necessary to help these individuals live independent, dignified lives in the community.

It’s easy to get involved:

  1. Simply choose a race that suits you.
  2. Register online at www.ncm.ca to participate in the race.
  3. Email info@causewayfoundation.org and let us know you’re interested so we can keep you up to date on our pre-event activities. You can download a pledge form below.
  4. Collect pledges from your friends, family, and co-workers on Causeway’s behalf. (Cheques made payable to ‘Causeway Foundation’). And, when you raise $100 in pledges you’ll receive a Causeway branded water bottle.
  5. Submit pledge money to Causeway Foundation on or before Thursday, May 22nd, 2008.
  6. Join us at Causeway on Thursday, May 22nd, 2008 for a Pre-Race rally from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. Door prizes! Bring your pledge forms and pledges.
  7. Come out on race day and do your very best!
