Teams of four compete in fun challenges through the community, all in support of local charities.<\/p>\n<p>Each team chooses which charity they would like their funds to support and all the money raised goes to that local charity &#8211; 100% of funds received!\u00a0\u00a0The team I am on &#8220;Thing 1&#8221; is doing it for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reboundonline.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sarnia Lambton Rebound<\/a> and I&#8217;m really excited to be doing something like this.\u00a0 Even if doing something I&#8217;ve never done is a bit scary.<\/p>\n<p>Prizes are handed out to the top fundraisers.<\/p>\n<p>On Race Day teams travel throughout their community, competing in a series of fun-filled challenges along the way. The team that finishes the challenges in the fastest time is crowned the Race to Erase champion.\u00a0 Not a running race.\u00a0 Thank God!\u00a0 (smile) The challenges are a combination of savvy and smarts &#8211; no goofy shorts required.\u00a0 But could be fun! (smile)<\/p>\n<p>Teams can collect donations in person, online, or a combination of both.<\/p>\n<p>Teams drive between the challenges, all hosted by local businesses and not-for-profits.\u00a0 The challenges are designed to be not only entertaining, but to raise awareness and exposure for the hosts. Our goal is to ensure that everyone finishes the Race knowing a little more about their community than they did at the start of the day.<\/p>\n<p>When the last challenge is completed, everyone meets back at the start for lunch and the awards ceremony. A trophy is handed out to the team that completes all of the challenges in the fastest time.<\/p>\n<p>Wish us luck!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s going to be a great day.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to donate to help Sarnia Lambton Rebound &#8211; click <a href=\"https:\/\/donate.racetoerase.com\/donate\/donate\/form\/event\/1023\/token\/dmr9ec0lls\/share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a>.\u00a0 And thanks for your support.<\/p>\n<p>For more info about this event &#8211; listen to <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/blackburnradio-sarnia\/the-race-to-erase-is-coming-up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THIS<\/a> interview with George and Sarah as they talked with Rich Bouchard about Race To Erase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I&#8217;ve got my team.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve got my shirt.\u00a0 And I am READY\/ NOT REALLY READY (smile) for the Race to Erase happening on Saturday in Sarnia.
