Team Revved Up Raises $8562 at the Sears Great Canadian Run

On September 24, 2011, 17 runners from Orangeville Honda and numberous more volunteers from the dealership took part in the Sears Great Canadian Run.



The SGCR is a non-competitive relay run that stretches from either Vaughn or Bolton to Blue Mountain Village in Collingwood. Orangeville Honda's 'Team Revved Up' chose to go the longer distance, 131 km. The shorter distance was still pretty hefty at 101 km.


Beginning at 6:30 am at Vaughan Grove Sports Park, Team Revved Up began to systematically knock off the relay legs of varying distances until finally reaching Blue Mountain at around 8:30 pm. Mother nature could not have provided a better day for us.


The SGCR is dubbed 'The Relay To End Kids Cancer'. The Orangeville Honda team raised $8562 for the cause which was 305% of our original goal. The generosity of our customers was incredible and we can't thank enough all who contributed.


The top three fund-raising teams were truly amazing:

1. Journey For Jacob raised $67,347.77



2. Team ABPA raised $25,066.00



3. Team Gabriel raised $17,301.41
