CN Tower Climb

Are you interested in taking 1776 steps to the top of the CN Tower in an effort to support United Way Toronto and its affiliated social service and health agencies?  Mr. Perretta would like to extend an invite to the McMurrich Community to join him in this challenge.  Please take note that parents and children are invited to participate however students (under the age of 18) will need to be accompanied by an adult (over 21 years old) on the day of the climb if they would like to participate.  Having performed the climb last year, I can tell you it is an obvious physical challenge thus only those that feel physically prepared are encouraged to participate.  I hope you will join me on Saturday, October 23rd in this community effort.   It is my intention to meet all participants at McMurrich PS at 7:45am and drive to the event venue.  Our school’s tentative climb to the top of the CN Tower will commence ~9:00am and arrival back to McMurrich will be 11:00am.   You may also invite your friends and family to cheer you on at the top of the CN Tower from 6 am - 9 am on Saturday and Sunday.   Discounted admission is only $12 with taxes per person. 

Each participant is required to collect a minimum of $30 in donations if they are pre-registered prior to Wednesday, October 13th.  The minimum donation is $60 after October 13th.  I have already registered myself and created a team name “McMurrich Spirit” and ask that you confirm your participation no later than Tuesday, October 12th.  In order to participate, each participant is asked to register for the student climb at www.unitedwaytoronto.com. You will be prompted to create a username and password of your choice.  You will then proceed to sign up for the student challenge taking place on October 23rd.   Add yourself as a team member to “McMurrrich Spirit” which is our group’s team name.  Upon completion of this, you can edit your profile and begin collecting pledges.

Please feel free to check the website for further details.

Thanks!

Mr. Perretta
