East teams West and Records SET!!!
Fastathon 2007 was a HUGE sucess with two events held again this year in Calgary, AB and at Ziontario Campgrounds in Ontario. Together there were approximately 115 people and everyone raised $38,180.64! What difference a weekend can make!
The theme this year was "I need to Wake up to some Inconvenient Truths" and we discussed how we can all do things here in Canada to make a difference around the world and for the world/enviroment.
Funds raised will go far to help World Accord's partners around the world and from them we say THANK YOU!
Touching lives and hearts everywhere!
Fastathon East took place May 25th to 27th 2007 and it was a great success once again, but something new happened this year. One of our top fund raisers was Jillian Dailey! She was also one of our youngest attendees!
Jillian has been to Guatemala and wanted to do something big this year so she set a goal for herself to raise at least $1,000! With the help of her parents she used this T-shirt that says "I'm going to raise $1,000 for World Accord and my friends in Guatemala, and I'm not taking off this T-shirt until I do!". Jillian surpassed her goal with a whopping $1,020! Way to go Jillian!!
Thank you Jillian for showing all of us that even the youngest can truly make a difference!!
