Tanks in Motion, Hope in Action
Epilepsy Durham Region presents the most epic challenge of tug of war! Prepare for a seismic showdown of strength and solidarity at the first-ever Pulling Together for Epilepsy Tank Pull fundraiser!
On Sunday, September 22nd, 2024, teams of 10 from across our community will converge at the Ontario Regiment Museum (RCAC) to harness their power and pull a 20-ton M24 Chaffee tank farther than their fellow competitors in a 30 second time frame. With each pull, teams will not only test their raw strength, but also pull through and make traction for epilepsy support in Durham Region. Teams will vie for victory with all of their might, a feat only amplified by fundraising efforts and the collective support of sponsors, donors, and spectators. If 16 team captains join us on our mission, we will reach our $40,000 to support critical local programming!
This event is a rallying battle cry for epilepsy awareness, a beacon of hope for those living with epilepsy, and a testament to community spirit and unwavering dedication to make a difference. Through this epic display of teamwork and determination, we aim to shatter stigmas, spark conversation, and ignite change.
Join us as we unite in solidarity, pulling together for a world free from the constraints of epilepsy! Register today for your team’s place on the frontlines of this monumental event!
