The SOLE PURPOSE WALK-A-THON is a family-friendly fund-raising 5K walk for The PPC Hub building project; a future centre for vulnerable youth and seniors in our community.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 towards the estimated renovation project cost of $1 Million.
​
Join us Saturday, June 7, 2025 at Oshawa’s Lakeview Park & Waterfront Trail. Bring your family and friends to fundraise with us as we walk the entire 5K or a portion of it! Individual adults can register for $20 per person, and kids under 18 are free! If you can’t walk you can still help this Fun-tabulous Fundraiser by supporting a team or an individual with your donation!
​
Once you are registered you can begin to fundraise as an individual with your own personal page, plus you can create a team of family, friends and work colleagues and see how much you can raise together! Local businesses you patronize may be interested in walking for our cause or creating their own team, so don't forget to ask them!

OUR CAUSE​
THE CAUSE
Statistics indicate a huge increase in needs and services for both Youth & Seniors since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.
THE SOLUTION
The PPC Hub - 7000 sq. ft. of space which requires complete renovation to bring to an operational level as a multi-functional usable space. This will create a safe place for Durham's community of youth and seniors to gather. Services offered will provide holistic support: teaching, integrated programing, forging vital connections, social engagement, and empowerment.
The Hub is primarily for youths and seniors, but will also offer family programs such as Mommy & Me, Grief Share and Autism support.

THE GOAL
To raise $100,000 towards the estimated renovation project cost of $1 Million
