Acknowledgments Défi-Memphré 2015

Magog, June 1st, 2015
Dear sponsors, donors, volunteers and friends of Défi Memphré,
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, THANK YOU ALL!!!
Our fifth edition, which was held on May 16 at Plage des Cantons in Magog, was a huge success thanks to you. We reached our 2015 objective by donating the sum of $20,414 to the Christian Vachon Foundation. Since its first edition in 2011, the Memphré Challenge has donated $64,000 to the foundation with the aim of helping elementary school children from low-income families who have learning difficulties to access adapted educational services to their needs.
Remember that the Memphré Challenge is one of the rare 100% voluntary, 100% charitable events. All of the proceeds are donated to the Foundation each year and rest assured that this money makes all the difference for many children.
It's more than 500 runners who were there in an idyllic temperature. Complete families participating in the various events in an atmosphere of celebration and pride. Having at its core the mission of helping children, the Défi Memphré also offers several distances specifically for children (5k scholarships for the next generation 16-19 years old, 3k, 2k, 1k and the P'tit challenge Memphré).
The highlight of the event is always, without a doubt, the "P'tit challenge Memphré" when nearly 190 children have overcome the various obstacles, each crazier than the next. A little dirty, a little wet, all these little ones had a big smile on arrival, thanks to you!
A charity event needs the valuable support of several local businesses and economic partners to achieve their financial goals and also many volunteers to offer participants most enjoyable experience that they will want to repeat the following year. Without all of you, nothing is possible.
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being involved in our cause this year. Hoping to be able to count on your support, which is so precious to us for our 2016 edition, please accept, dear friends, the expression of my best feelings.
