The Whistler Half Marathon, presented by Smartwool along with it's parent organization Whistler Friends Community Health and Welfare Society have created a new fund to support families in the Sea to Sky Corridor affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
No one is unaffected by the fallout of the COVID-19 virus, our economy has all but stopped and that means many businesses are closing for the short or long term, leading to many in our community losing income and the ability to support their families.
As a concerned member of our non profit business community the Whistler Half Marathon has initiated this fundraising campaign to help ensure local families that are financially challenged due to this global crisis can still put healthy meals on their dinner tables.
We are asking for anyone who is able to help, to do so though our online campaign here on Fundrazr. We are proudly working with Nesters Market to be able to provide gift cards to families in need. These cards will be distributed through local employers and community services organizations to ensure they get into the hands of those that need them most.
We know that by working together we will get through this crisis and in the mean time do some amazing things for those who need a little extra helping hand in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
Thank you for your consideration and support of the families most affected in the Sea to Sky Corridor. We wish you health and patience as the world works though this trying time.
