A Gallery Moment
SACRED recently held an amazing event celebrating art, recovery and the success of SACRED's programs. We hope you enjoy our photos.
SACRED would also like to thank the Supporters of A Gallery Moment.
Thank you to all of you who came out and showed your support for SACRED on June 23, 2007 by participating in the Roy Financial Mayor's Walk for Charity in St. Albert. Some provided financial sponsorship, some walked, some ran and some volunteered at the event all in the name of charity. The event was a huge succes with 28 charities and close to 250 registered walkers/runners helped to raise over $49,000.00 for the charity of their choice. Our goal was to exceed the $2,100 raised last year and we did just that, raising $3,010! Thank you for your support!
Following the
spectacularly successful years in 2003 and 2004, the third annual Spin Around the Clock was held April 1 & 2, 2005 in the
West Edmonton Mall Ice Palace.
Why
"To create
a community of supporters who will help the Livia Stoyke Foundation
raise over $50,000 in pledges. Funds raised will pay for the Foundation's
programs, which support the arts, women and children in need, the
environment and the poor."
What is the
Spin Around the Clock?
A 24-hour fundraiser
where teams of relay-riders cycled on stationary bikes, with live
music, art, dance, movies and spin instruction. A mural was painted
in honour of Alberta and Saskatchewan's Centennial Celebration.
This mural was shown to the Queen during her visit to Canada.
Results
The event was
a great success! This year SACRED was one of four charities
that benefited from the sweat of 600 riders as they spun to raise
money to support our programs. Organized by the Livia Stoyke Foundation, SACRED also participated in many television interviews which
increased community awareness of eating disorders and SACRED's services.
SACRED would like to thank Trevor Wiltzen, the Board of the Livia Stoyke
Foundation, and all of the volunteers and riders for your dedication
and support.
