We did it!!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better day on May 7 to hold our 4th annual Share the Power of a Wish® Walk Run in support of Make-A-Wish® of Eastern Ontario. Innovapost and Make-A-Wish employees and organizers, their families, and hundreds of participants attended our event at Ottawa’s City Hall, choosing to walk or run a 1km, 5km, and 10km route along Queen Elizabeth Drive.
Record Year!
We are pleased to announce that with the help of our sponsors, Innovapost outperformed both the 2010 and 2011 target ($100K) by raising an amazing $157,000, granting upwards of 15 wishes!
