Yogis Set To Take Over City Hall Park This Saturday

This Saturday, August 19, 2017, a small army of yogis are set to take over Red Deer City Hall Park.
The Stantec Central Alberta Yogathon will run from 10am- 2pm, raising funds and awareness for youth impacted by mental illness in our community. The 4-hour long yoga session will be facilitated by local yoga teachers, with pledgers raising money to participate. All proceeds will be donated to the Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation, a local endowment initiated to carry on the legacy of a young local woman who took her life due to mental illness.
The goal is to raise $15,000.00 for the Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation, an endowment that funds local programs meant to educate youth and help prevent similar tragedies from occurring. The Central Alberta Yogathon is a heartfelt event, which has brought over 50 participants together yearly to raise money and awareness for mental illness. Last year, the event raised $2,500 but this year, we anticipate over 100 yogis will participate.
It is family friendly, open to all ages and experience levels, and is a great way to connect with like-minded individuals within our community that care about the general well-being of our residents.
Brochures and pledge forms are readily available at local businesses including Stantec, local yoga studios, BIG 105 and 106.7 The Drive, and the Red Deer Library.
Participants can participate without fundraising by paying a small $35 registration fee, which includes the 4 hour yoga session, refreshments, and a participant gift. Â Registration fees will be waived for any participants who raise $200.00 or more.
Raffle tickets are also available for purchase for those supporters unable to make it to the Yogathon. A $500 cash prize is up for grabs; tickets cost $5 each or 3 for $10 and are available at Stantec or by contacting [email protected].
We hope you will join us for this fun community event on Saturday!
