CAPITAL ONE(R) RACE FOR KIDS(TM) SET FOR SPRING 2016
February 25 2016 - 6:19PM
Capital One� Race for Kids™ is an urban adventure race offering a
chance to return to the best adventures of childhood, all while
raising funds for kids! This year's Race is scheduled to take place
in 31 locations across Canada, with events happening on each of the
following Saturdays: May 28, June 4, and June 11. Teams of four
will complete 10 Checkpoints in a race to the finish. Checkpoints
are designed to focus the mind and challenge the body in fun and
zany ways. All funds raised by team entries support programming at
local Boys and Girls Clubs, improving the lives of thousands of
children and youth who rely on Boys and Girls Clubs programs and
services every year. Boys and Girls Clubs serve over 210,000
children and youth at 650 locations across the country. Young
people not only serve as the foundation for the future but are
firmly part of the present generation of global citizens: living,
contributing, exploring, experiencing and learning. It is essential
that every effort is made to ensure that all young people,
regardless of their family's structure or financial status, have
the resources and support they need to reach their full potential.
"I'm thrilled that Capital One Race for Kidsâ„¢ will once again be
supporting Boys and Girls Clubs," says Owen Charters, President and
CEO of Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada. "We are looking forward to
another successful year with all of our incredible racers,
volunteers, local donors across Canada, and of course, our national
sponsors—Capital One Canada and WestJet." "After four years, the
Capital One Race for Kidsâ„¢ has raised more than 3.8 million dollars
for Boys and Girls Clubs, and we're looking forward to another
great year," said Nathalie Clark, Vice President, Capital One
Canada. "The event is a wonderful opportunity for Canadians from
coast to coast to have fun while also supporting important programs
that empower children and youth in their local community." This
