*** SPIN TO SKATE ***
On Saturday September 26th our good Friends of George Bray Sports Association, Karen Wilson, Jessica Ashton and Lyn Carapella pooled their resources and devoted many hours of work to make this an amazing day! It was a record fundraiser for GBSA, a Hockey League for players with Intellectual disabilities. www.georgebrayhockey.ca
They planned, organized and implemented a Spin 2 Skate / Spin-a-thon from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Damian Warner Fitness Centre South London Location. Led by Veteran spin instructor Karen Wilson the entire event was created to celebrate and support the incredible athletes and families of the George Bray Sports Association.
Spinning is an indoor cycling workout completed on a stationary bike. This event featured over 20 stationary bikes running continuously over a 4 hour period with different riders. There were 7 people who spun for 4 hours and over 100 - 30-min bikers,
all of which collected additional pledges, corporate sponsorships and community donations. It was an unforgettable workout party featuring a live DJ pumping music, energetic lighting, video screens, swag bags and amazing prizes and amazing participants.
They not only met their fundraising goal but they were able to double it. All profits will directly benefit George Bray Hockey, helping ensure more children of all abilities have the opportunity to experience the physical, social, and emotional benefits of being part of a Hockey team.
Every pedal stroke helped create opportunities for athletes who deserve the chance to play!!!
