motionball SHINE Gala 2015
Another year of success - Big congratulation to the 6th
annual motionball Gala, an event
that fund-raise money for the motionball charity organization, supporting Canada
Special Olympics and athletes. This year’s theme “SHINE”, symbolizes the spotlight on success which encouraged guests
to wear something shiny to celebrate the bravery, hard work and achievement of
our Canadian Special Olympic athletes. ET Canada’s charismatic Rick Campanelli returned as the Gala’s
host. Joining also were the founder of the motionball charity Paul Etherington from Toronto, and
Calgary motionball Gala director Paul
Horton.
The sold out SHINE gala held at Flames Central attracted
more than 1,000 young professional from Calgary, raising money for the motionball
charity. Through the city’s continue support, the organization was able to help
more Canadians living with an intellectual disability sign up and register for
the programs offered by each Special Olympics Provincial chapter. The evening
also consisted of music and dance performances, as well as an interactive LED-lit
artistic costumes.
Whatever the current economic
downturn may be, it was great to see Calgarians coming out to support a
national charity and event such as the motionball – And it doesn’t end here,
the next motionball event that will happen in the city is the Marathon Of Sport on May 30th 2015 – “Recruit your
family, friends and colleagues to join you on the field for a fun day of
athletic competition that sees motionball supporters compete alongside local
Special Olympics athletes in a variety of sports & activities including
basketball, soccer baseball, flag football and floor hockey.” – Find out more
