Running in support of Counselling & Disability Services (CDS) at 91亚色 for the second year in a row, the team has raised more than $15,000 鈥 including almost $8,000 this year 鈥 to create a new endowed bursary for students who access CDS. Through the Ontario Trust for Student Support (OTSS) program, all money raised for this bursary will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Ontario government.
鈥淚t was amazing to see our 91亚色 community come together for such an important cause,鈥 said Paul Marcus, president and CEO, 91亚色 Foundation. 鈥淭he atmosphere was indescribable and everyone had a blast. We all walked away feeling good about what we had accomplished for Counselling& Disability Services.鈥
Team 91亚色 was initiated by staff members from CDS in 2009 and 91亚色 has been an official charity for the event for two years running. Working together, the 91亚色 Foundation 
and CDS have recruited and encouraged team members in their training and fundraising efforts over the last few months.
