Toronto Challenge

The Toronto Challenge is a family event that raises money for non-profit organizations that improve the quality of life for seniors in your community.As a part of the Toronto Challenge, participants enjoy a timed 5k run, 5k walk or 1k walk through downtown Toronto and receive a team t-shirt and a chance to win prizes.

The Toronto Challenge celebrates physical activity and community spirit and is suitable for all ages and abilities. Funds raised go directly to community programs that help seniors. You decide where to direct the money you raise: Choose from dozens of community organizations or dedicate your fundraising efforts to Toronto Long-Term Care Homes and Services. Types of projects that are supported vary from organizations that provide home support and independent housing, to renovating a senior’s facility, providing transportation services, offering recreation programs and purchasing large print books.

Last year’s Toronto Challenge was on Sunday June 12 2011. 140 Dixon Hall supporters participated last year, raising $35,000 for our Senior programs.
