Exile Island 2010!

Exile Island Location: Riley Park, Hillhurst Sunnyside

Timeframe:
12:00 p.m. Banishment & Competition Begins
3:00 p.m. Welcome Wish Families to Exile Island
4:30 p.m. Dinner Celebration & Awards Ceremony

Welcome to Exile Island in support of The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. In select cities across Canada local business leaders will be exiled with only their personal communication devices to compete in a very special fundraiser.
Competition promises to be fierce but in the end, everyone wins a place in the Children’s Wish Heroes tribe.
Modelled after the "Survivor" television show, the concept is simple with local businesses and community groups forming tribes to help grant wishes by raising $10,000 each (the average cost of one wish). Providing a deeply personal and inspirational connection to the Foundation's mission, the tribes are also paired with a child in the process of having a wish granted. On event day, all the participants are banished to Exile Island for an afternoon of friendly competition to crown Alberta's Ultimate Survivor! As well, there is the unique opportunity for the tribes to meet the children they are granting wishes for and the event concludes with a celebration dinner amongst competitors, Wish families, event supporters and CWF staff.
Last year's inaugural Exile Island raised $160,000! In 2010, they want to raise the competition by expanding the event to include 2 locations (Calgary and Edmonton) and increasing the number of tribes. With your support, they can fulfill even more wishes for many deserving children and their families throughout Alberta!

The Canadian Cancer Society's Jail-N-Bail

The Core - TD Square/Holt Renfrew, 317 7 Ave. S.W.

8:30 A.M.-4:30 P.M.

Being on the wrong side of the law for the right cause is what it's all about during the Canadian Cancer Society Jail-N-Bail®. Turn yourself in, snitch and have someone arrested, or donate to help a jailbird make bail. The Canadian Cancer Society Jail-N-Bail® involves a mock jail set up in a high traffic public area, such as a shopping centre. Citizens are “arrested” by off-duty police officers or other Society volunteers.
The event begins when participants contact the Canadian Cancer Society requesting to turn themselves in or the “arrest” of their boss, spouse, a politician, friend or co-worker. The off-duty police officer or volunteer “arrests” the jailbird, who is then whisked off to “jail”.
When the participants arrive at the “jail”, their bail is set by a judge.. The jailbirds then start making pledge calls to friends, relatives and co-workers to earn their bail. Jailbirds should bring their Blackberry or PDA, rolodex or a list of contacts with them to the “jail”. Jailbirds may start raising bail online prior to their arrest. A snitch may also help a jailbird by starting the fundraising before the trial date.
Jailbirds who have already started their fundraising themselves or have it started for them by the snitch will receive mercy from a judge and have a shorter stay in jail. Most incarcerations last for one to two hours. All bail donations are tax deductible contributions to the Canadian Cancer Society. Donations of $20 or greater will automatically receive a tax receipt.
