Money Mart first launched its 24 Hour Relay fundraising campaign in 2003. Every year since then, Money Mart branches have bested their fundraising totals from the previous year, bringing Money Mart’s fundraising total to more than $1.5 million.

“We cannot thank Money Mart enough for its outstanding support,” says Max Beck, CEO of Easter Seals Canada. “Every year Money Mart employees and customers continuously raise the bar, enhancing the lives of more people with disabilities. We are very grateful to partner with Money Mart which has always shown tremendous enthusiasm for making a difference in the communities it serves.”

“We are incredibly proud of our on-going involvement with Easter Seals and can’t thank our staff and customers enough for their tremendous efforts year after year,” says Larry Taylor, President, National Money Mart. “The programs and services provided through Easter Seals helps thousands of kids with physical disabilities in so many ways and we’re absolutely thrilled to be a part of it.”

The 29th annual Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay raised $3.2 million for Easter Seals programs and services. The Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay brings together more than three hundred teams in nine cities, comprising 7,500 participants who fundraise for months leading up to the 24 Hour Relay in June. Participants lace up their running shoes and bring their commitment and enthusiasm for the only 24 Hour event that mixes athletics with wacky fun. For more information: www.24hourrelay.ca.
