We had a special little visitor today at the Cupboard. Ethan – our poster child has grown a bit and we are thrilled to be able to continue to support him and his family on his journey while he waits for his own new chair! Just another good day at the Cupboard where our hearts are touched and we are reminded of the tremendous impact we have on families lives♥

Event Details

Berry Architecture Community Wellness Ride in Support of Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA)-Central Alberta Region and Central Alberta Brain Injury Society (CABIS) Registrations are now being accepted for the 9^th Annual Berry Architecture Community Wellness Ride taking place on August 19^th, 2017 in Red Deer. “This is a great opportunity for the community to get behind two local agencies that provide support services and programming for individuals and families impacted by mental health issues, addiction, and acquired brain injuries,” says Trish McAllister-Hall, Executive Director for CMHA Central Alberta Region. Cyclists can choose from one of four distances to ride: 10 km, 25 km, 50 km, or 100 km. The 10 and 25 km rides will take place on the trails of Red Deer, while the 50 and 100 km rides will take place on the highway from Red Deer to Delburne. Co-Chairs Melissa Brilz and Angela Darbel are excited about the improvements being made this year. The addition of the 10 km ride, and moving the 25 km ride in to the City is the most significant change. “While the support we have received from cyclists willing to ride 50 km or 100 km has been amazing over the years, we found that it really limited participation to the experienced rider. It is our hope that by having the option to ride shorter distances, the event will be more appealing to the casual rider and families”. The registration fee is $25.00 and minimum pledge amounts are required based on the distance being ridden. For additional information and to register, please visit the event page at www.wellnessride.ca. Sponsorship packages for the event are also available by contacting CMHA at (403) 342-2266.

Event Details

On Saturday, August 19, 2017, a small army of yogis are set to take over Red Deer City Hall Park. The Stantec Central Alberta Yogathon will run from 10am- 2pm, raising funds and awareness for youth impacted by mental illness in our community. The 4-hour long yoga session will be facilitated by local yoga teachers, with pledgers raising money to participate.

All proceeds will be donated to the Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation, a local endowment initiated to carry on the legacy of a young local woman who took her life due to mental illness.

Our goal is to raise $15,000.00 this year for the Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation.

The Smiles Thru Lindsey endowment will fund local youth programs meant to educate youth and help prevent similar tragedies from occurring. The Central Alberta Yogathon is a heartfelt event, which has brought over 50 participants together yearly to raise money and awareness for mental illness. Last year, the event raised $2,500 but this year, we anticipate over 100 yogis will participate.

It is family friendly, open to all ages and experience levels, and is a great way to connect with like-minded individuals within our community that care about the general well-being of our residents.

Brochures and pledge forms are readily available at local businesses including Stantec, local yoga studios, BIG 105 and 106.7 The Drive, and the Red Deer Library.

Participants can participate without fundraising by paying a small $35 registration fee, which includes the 4 hour yoga session, refreshments, and a participant gift. Registration fees will be waived for any participants who raise $200.00 or more.

Raffle tickets are also available for purchase for those supporters unable to make it to the Yogathon. A $500 cash prize is up for grabs; tickets cost $5 each or 3 for $10 and are available at Stantec or by contacting cayogathon@gmail.com.
