The TCS Charity Challenge (formerly the Scotiabank Charity Challenge) is a unique fundraising opportunity that is taking place virtually across Canada throughout the month of October. Participants can make their exercise endeavours more meaningful by raising funds for the CCBC. This year’s virtual Charity Challenge will take place from October 1-31 with participants able to take part anywhere in Canada by walking, wheeling and running at a distance of their own choosing. An in-person event takes place in Toronto on October 16 as part of the Toronto Waterfront Marathon.

Register at bookcentre.ca/run and join the CCBC’s team, The Speed Readers, or start a team of your own! Whether you register for either the in-person or virtual team, $5 will automatically go to the Canadian Children’s Book Centre and 100% of all the funds you raise go back to the CCBC to support our many amazing programs throughout the year, including Canadian Children’s Book Week. Please join us in this fun endeavour! Challenge your friends, family, office mates, or just yourself! Help us get to our fundraising goal! Go, Speed Readers!
