The Boys and Girls Clubs and Capital One Race for Kids: Results that Raise Support

June 5, 2014 by radii

What started as a gloomy, rain-bound day turned out to be picture-perfect weather for us to Race for Kids, and raise support for Boys and Girls Club’s after school programs.

Returning to participate in this awesome event for our second consecutive year, we aimed to surpass our 3rd place finish from 2013. This year though, our fellow corporate challengers brought their A-game. The six events posed a fun challenge to our team, but one wrong turn cost us a top placement in the standings. Even though Radii placed 8th overall, we were honoured to win the Good Life Fitness award for “The Most Use of Twitter and Social Media” during the event!

Congratulations again to Capital One Canada, easyhome and President’s Choice Children’s Charity for coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place respectively. Here’s the list of teams and finishing times:

  1. Capital One Canada – 1:30:45
  2. easyhome #1 – 1:38:35
  3. President’s Choice Children’s Charity – 1:41:50
  4. easyhome #2 – 1:43.03
  5. Twitter #1 – 1:57:50
  6. Visa – 2:00:38
  7. Canadian First Financial Team for Kids – 2:00:55
  8. Radii – 2:02:00
  9. EZ CORP – 2:05:20

Markham Islanders

Hey Islanders, mark your calendars for May 26th and 27th —it’s sizing night already!

Radii has been a proud sponsor of the Markham Islanders Minor Atom AA team for the past two years. We feel honoured to be a part of such a long standing tradition in the community of Markham.

Founded in 1979, the Markham Islanders organization has helped to enhance the skills and abilities of young players in our hockey community. The mission of the Markham Islanders is to promote fair play, team spirit, a love of the game and commitment to the organization and teammates. At Radii, we find that we share the same principles in our work, and this is why we have supported the Markham Islanders for all of these years.

We wish the Minor Atom AA team all the success in the upcoming season!
