2024 United Way Firetruck Pull
On Tuesday, September 10th the Niagara Regional Labour Council will be participating in the 2024 United Way Firetruck Pull.
This event will kick off the 2024/25 United Way fundraising campaign and the NRLC will be fielding a team of ten to pull a St. Catharines fire truck 100 feet to kick off the fundraising season.
From The United Way:
Get ready to experience the thrilling excitement of United Way’s Annual Fire Truck Pull. This event is more than just a test of strength; it’s the starting point for United Way Niagara’s community-wide fundraising campaign. In Niagara, where the cost of living is high and the need for social programs is growing, United Way Niagara is a lifeline. By bringing teams, sponsors, and supporters together, we’re not just pulling a truck; we’re pulling our community closer. When we unite, we can help lift individuals out of poverty, empower youth, and create a safe and inclusive Niagara for all.
About the Event
The Firetruck Pull is the official kick-off to the 2024 Campaign. Registered teams of 10 people will work together to pull a 12-tonne fire truck 100 feet and raise much needed funds to support the community. 100% of proceeds fund social programs in Niagara (and count toward your workplace campaign total if applicable). This years event is presented by John Deere Canada.
Teams must raise a minimum of $1,500 to participate. Funds can be raised in a number of ways including but not limited to, peer-to-peer (teams will get a custom fundraising page), corporate sponsorship or a combination of both. Going above and beyond is encouraged!
Awards will be given to the teams with:
- Best Team Spirit;
- Fastest Pull Time, and;
- Highest Funds Raised.
