Team Nellie’s Update!

This week we’re happy to share many exciting updates about our participation in the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Charity Challenge!

Nellie’s now has teams from Brooks Brothers Toronto and Apex Public Relations running/walking for us!  8 employees from these two companies have joined forces to fundraise for the women and children at Nellie’s and we couldn’t be more pleased to have their support.

Our team members have fundraised a total of $2710 and we are now over halfway towards our fundraising goal of $5000.  You can follow our progress or make a donation to our team here.  100% of funds raised will go towards our Holiday celebrations, activities, and programs at Nellie’s this winter.

There’s also still time to JOIN OUR TEAM, but act fast because space is filling up quickly.  The 5km race is 50% sold out and the full and half marathons are both over 70% sold out.  Remember, if you committ to a fundraising goal of $250 or more, we’ll waive your registration fee.  Please contact Jenna Pettinato at 416-461-0769 or jenna.pettinato@nellies.org to register.

Since 1973, we have had the honour of rebuilding the lives of over 15,000 women and children. On Sunday October 16th, we invite  you to come out and show your strength, share your courage, prove your determination, and inspire hope in the belief that every woman and child has the right to live a life that is free from violence and oppression. 

Join us at the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon to celebrate our champions, the women and children of Nellie’s!
