A unique (the first of its kind on PEI!) fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club of Charlottetown! We are a non-profit program serving children and youth in Charlottetown. We provide a variety of quality, structured, educational, remedial and recreational programs. Here are some highlights from our current programs: We provide after school and summer programming for children aged 5-14. In both programs we offer healthy snacks, daily physical activity, literacy activities including homework club, art and crafts. The Club (formally the Survival Center) is a drop in center for youth ages 16-29. We offer a hot meal, toiletries, laundry, employment counselling, recreation opportunities and assistance to find safe and affordable housing. This center offers a safe and supportive environment for youth in our community. For the second year in a row, we are able to offer a free Blue Jays baseball camp to four Charlottetown area schools as well as a Skilled for Success program to assist youth in learning about trades and finding summer employment. A 3km fun run along the Confederation Trail in Charlottetown in which there are zombies scattered across the course. Much like flag football the runners will each wear a belt with three flags. While running the course, zombies will attempt to steal their flags. If you lose all three flags to a zombie then you are considered ‘dead’ though you may still finish the run. You have the option to purchase more flags for $10 at our energy stations which will be set up along the way (they will also provide first aid and water). Those who cross the finish line with three flags will be entered to win 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes. The run will end at the Boys & Girls Club of Charlottetown location at 35 St. Peter’s Road with a BBQ and prizes. There will be prizes awarded for best Zombie costume, most flags captured by a zombie and a draw for 3 top prizes for those who finish the run with three flags. Zombie participants are encouraged to dress-up! The scarier, the better. There will be a limited number of zombies allowed to register for this event. All runners will be receive a bib, a race pack and a 2014 Zombie Run t-shirt. Zombies will also receive a 2014 Zombie Run t-shirt. All registration forms and money must be passed in to the Boys & Girls Club before Friday, October 17, 2014, as this is the LAST DAY TO REGISTER.
