, you crushed it! What a remarkable year for The Push-Up Challenge.
To each and every one of you who decided to mental health outcomes by participating in The Push-Up Challenge this year: THANK YOU!
Whether you did push-ups, completed a modified exercise, supported an individual, team or community in the challenge, donated, or just cheered from afar, we wish to convey our immense appreciation.
Today is the last day that people can donate to the challenge (or finish their push-ups), and you at last count, you all have brought in an incredible $122,118 for the Ottawa branch alone.
These funds will directly support programs that do not receive any ministry funding and rely on grants and your generosity to stay afloat, like our life-changing Recovery College program, a peer-led and co-facilitated workshop series that equips our clients with the skills we all need to thrive.
We truly hope The Push-Up Challenge was as beneficial and wonderful for each of you as it was for us. Until next year!
