Cross The Finish Line With Stainless Steel Bottles
By
Last Saturday on August 22nd, 2009, Planet Forward sponsored the Annual Midsummer Night’s Run which is organized in support of the Department of Rheumatology at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.
Planet Forward was thrilled to participate as a Sponsor by providing sustainable stainless steel bottles to each of the participants that finished either the 30 k or the 15 k route. Stainless steel bottles filled with cold water were handed out as participants crossed the finish line, along with a medal of achievement. Other sponsors of the event included New Balance and Nicholas Hoare.
Features of the event included the Steamwhistle Midsummer Beer Garden, a B.B.Q. by Dangerous Dan’s, a DJ and a winner’s ceremony.
Most notable, however, was the good spirit and positive energy that was brought in by all of the volunteers and participants. Many dressed in twigs, blossoms, ribbons and bows, and posed to have their picture taken at the costume corner, qualifying them for the costume contest.
The event was a great success and the Planet Forward Team was thrilled to donate their stainless steel bottles to help raise money for the Hospital for Sick Children.
We would like to thank everyone for their emails and kind words. We will be appearing next at the Live Green Toronto Festival on Sunday August 30th as an exhibitor and the Earth Matters Showcase on September 9th, 2009 at Sunnybrook’s Health Sciences Centre and at the Conscious Food Festival at Toronto’s Historic Fort York on September 26th & 27th. We hope to see you there.
