TORONTO, June 28, 2017?Young Construction Leaders (YCL) put their athletic skills?along with their hearts?on display by participating in this year?s MLSE (Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment) Team Up Challenge presented by Ford of Canada. Seven YCL teams participated in the hockey, basketball and soccer tournament and raised just over $50,000 in pledges to raise funds for Camp Trillium, a camp for kids living with cancer and their families.
?I couldn?t be prouder of the YCL teams that contributed to this year?s Team Up Challenge,? says YCL Chair Matt Henderson. ?All of our YCL participants worked hard to raise money for this wonderful cause and had a great time doing it.? Having been involved in the annual event last year, members at YCL were even more determined to make an impact through the challenge this year. ?Our top three teams; Tucker HiRise, Harbinger Network Inc., and Ledcor Group all raised in excess of $8,000,? says Henderson.
The MLSE Team Up Challenge presented by Ford of Canada is an all-day sports tournament where teams compete in soccer, basketball, and ball hockey with the goal of raising money to enrich the lives of kids who count on Camp Trillium. Participants have the opportunity to compete at Downsview Park and HoopDome and enjoy an entire day filled with sports, music, entertainment and philanthropy. To compete in the tournament, teams of 8-10 must reach a minimum fundraising target of $5,000.
The Trillium Childhood Cancer Support Centre offers and promotes recreational experiences to bring children with cancer and their families together. Each team participating in the Challenge is paired with a Camp Trillium family who serves as their honorary coaches to motivate them throughout their fundraising and cheer for them on Game Day.
