Dear Friend, I am participating in Canada’s largest running event, the Ottawa Race weekend! I am running with Team Causeway in the 5km run on Saturday, May 26, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. All proceeds raised by Causeway will go directly towards supporting the programs and services of Causeway. This cause is near and dear to my heart, so I hope you will consider sponsoring me. About Causeway Causeway helps people with mental health issues and other barriers to employment enhance their skills, receive one-on-one support, overcome challenges, find employment and begin the journey to a more independent life. Causeway offers a number of employment programs including: pre‐employment for youth; casual, group, independent and self‐employment options; a wellness program; a computer training program; and five social enterprises that train and employ Causeway clients. We couldn't do what we do without wonderful supporters who continue to believe in the community. Any donation amount helps! How to Help You can sponsor me by making a donation that will go directly towards supporting the programs and services of Causeway. Cash and cheque donations are preferred; please make cheques payable to Causeway Foundation. Contributions of over $10 are eligible for a tax receipt. Thank you for supporting the Causeway Foundation, and for supporting positive change in the community.
Kind regards,
