On August 22, 2004 CISS hosted the first annual Ultimate Sports Day. The event, reminicent of elementary school sports days, turned out to be a very successful fundraiser. While the day was planned with very little lead-up time, we were able to foster great support from both the community and many businesses. Between donations, registration fees, and the generous in-kind donations from businesses, Ultimate Sports Day generated around $9000 of support. The money earned from this event will help subsidize and develop programs, and support the capital investments we are currently investigating. All the feedback we have received has been very positive - and we have already been approached by new people and sponsors who want to become involved in next year’s Ultimate Sports Day. Having worked out many kinks, and with a year to plan, we are looking forward to our second event all ready.
The success of this year’s event was largely due to the overwhelming support recieved from sponsoring companies. We would like to send a special thanks to Petro-Canada, Open Road Toyota Port Moody, Coquitlam Centre and Pasta Polo Restaurant for their generosity in helping the first year of this event get off the ground. We would also like to thank all the following companies for donating prizes and money: Vancity Community Credit Union, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Montana’s Cookhouse, McDonalds, Bard on the Beach, Angelo’s Hair Salon and Spa, Andres Wines, Kast Hair Salon, Hyak Wilderness Adventures, Bowrings on Schoolhouse, Kumsheen Rafting Resort, Maple Ridge Keg, Coast Mountain Sports in Coquitlam Centre, the P.N.E., and Costco in Port Coquitlam. |
