I am so excited to share that I will be helping run the 2024 motionball Marathon of Sport Calgary. This year, on June 22, my team and I will be taking the field alongside local Special Olympics athletes for a full day of sports, fun, and inclusivity!
I am inviting you to become a part of this amazing day by helping us reach our team fundraising goal of $10,000. All donations, big and small, make a direct impact on Special Olympics athletes like Ruby.
Ruby first became involved with motionball’s Marathon of Sport 10 years ago, and since then has participated in countless motionball events. This year, Ruby has taken on the role of motionball's Honorary Athlete Ambassador. I have been fortunate enough to spend time with Ruby and witness the impact of motionball and Special Olympics. Read below to learn what being a part of motionball means to Ruby!
“I am so happy to be a part of motionball. I have loved making so many new friends over the years and doing so many exciting things with the motionball team. My favourite part of motionball events is seeing all my friends and meeting all kinds of new people. My favourite sports to play at Marathon of Sport are basketball, soccer and of course... all the dancing!”
While a $10,000 fundraising target is one of our team goals, Marathon of Sport is about so much more! Through events like this, motionball raises awareness and funds for the Special Olympics movement and allows people with and without intellectual disabilities to connect, build new friendships, celebrate differences, and ultimately create more inclusive communities across Canada.
With your help, we can reach our fundraising goal and help create a more inclusive Canada! Please consider supporting our team by donating directly to our fundraising page.
Every donation makes a difference, and tax receipts are available for donations over $20.
