EVENT DETAILS
A HUGE Thank You to all of you who have Chased with us before.
The Mitsubishi City Chase Presented By BlackBerry Bold is entering is 7th season in Canada, and is preparing to unleash the BIGGEST and BEST adventures EVER!!
The 2010 season will kick off on May 29th in Edmonton, before continuing to Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver ... and possibly a new city or two!
Hotel Partners:
In 2009, there was a large increase of Chasers who chose to travel to experience what other cities had to offer - think of it as a 6 hour tourism crash course. It was great to see your friendly faces, and we hope that the trend continues in 2010.
To help make it easier, City Chase is working to confirm regional hotel packages to enhance your experience. Stay tuned for details.
Right To Play:
The Mitsubishi City Chase Powered by BlackBerry Bold is very pleased to once again be working with Right To Play as the official Charitable partner of the 2010 Series. Thanks in part to your tremendous efforts - especially Team "The Moops" Mike and Mike, who raised an incredible $2800 and earned `City Chase For Life`! - more than $165,000 was raised in 2009, bringing the two year total to nearly $300,000. These funds help to bring sport and play programs to improve health, develop life skills, and foster peace for children and communities in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the world.
Stay tuned for more information as the season approaches.
