Official Press Release CHEO BBQ 2012

Please join us on June 9th!

The 20th installment of the CHEO BBQ is coming on June 9th and it is going to be the best one yet!

In the spirit of health and wellness and to include even the smallest members of the CHEO BBQ community, we have added a 5K Family Walk, to compliment our other sports tournaments. What a great way to get involved!

The walk will start at the site of the CHEO BBQ and ending full circle back at the site right in time for lunch. This addition offers a wonderful opportunity to raise even more funds for CHEO and reach our fundraising goal of $60,000.

This is where you come in, I personally invite you to register for the First annual 5k walk at  www.cheobbq.com/walk/ . We rely heavily on the fundraising efforts of all of our sports participants who collect pledges and donations.

 
Here’s how easy it is:

Start by printing a pledge form from our web site www.cheobbq.com/donations-pledges/

-Set a personal fundraising goal and write it on the top of your pledge form.

-Take you pledge form to work/school with you.

-Keep it in a zip-lock bag or envelope to keep all the donations together.

-The first line on the pledge form is for you to pledge yourself.

-Ask your family, friends, and co-workers to sponsor you.

-Tell them why you are doing this, you never know, they might want to join you.

-Get an online/social media presence so you can reach those that you may not see every day.

-Bring the completed pledge form and donation with you and come see me at the Pledging tent.

 
After you enjoyed a leisurely paced walk through the Beacon Hill neighbourhood you are offered free admission to explore the grounds of the CHEO BBQ.

 
I look forward in see you on June 9, 2012.

CHEO BBQ – Director of Pledging

Here’s a sure-fire way to get the most out of the CHEO BBQ. Have a gander at this list before heading to Shefford Park on Saturday!

Dress for the Weather! - Check the forecast and dress appropriately.

Sunscreen! - Don’t want to be caught ‘red-handed’, or ‘red-necked’ or ‘red-legged’ etc.

If you drink…please drink responsibly.

Shuttle & Save… exact schedule will be available very soon!

If you’d prefer to drive to Shefford Park, there is a map on our Location page!

Front Gate – Opens at 08:30

Food & Drink – Barbecue Pit and Beer Garden open at 11:30. BBQ will be serving steak dinners starting at 16:00.

Show me the Money! – We’ll have an ATM on-site.

What you can do to help reduce waste and our carbon foot print

• Bring a drink container that can be used throughout the day for water. And reuse your plastic cup (or bring your own) in the beer tent.
• Help us recycle – There are plenty of recycle bins on site and make sure to sort your waste into the appropriate bins.
• Leave your car at home and take the shuttle
• Pledge online – Raise money for the kids at CHEO with our easy to use online pledging system

Together we can reach our collective goal of raising $55,000 for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

There are three ways you can help us reach that goal:

1. Collecting pledges or donations:

Donate now! This year our goal is to raise $20 000 in pledges and donations. Did you know that if every one of you raised just $20 that we would surpass our pledging total of the last 4 years? It’s true! Every penny you raise goes directly to the donation total that helps the children of our community. Visit our pledging and donations section of our site for your pledge form and some helpful tips on pledging.

2. Mobile Giving:

Brand new this year is our Mobile Giving campaign. Simply text the word “BBQ” to 45678 to donate $10.00 to the CHEO Foundation. A one time donation of $10.00 will be added to your mobile phone bill or deducted from your pre-paid balance.

3. Silent Auction:

For the second year we will have an on site silent auction where you will find great items to bid on. For example, hotel stays and gift certificates to various restaurants, among many other items.

 

For those who have already picked up your team packages and completed all waivers, you may proceed directly to the grounds. Your start times will vary so please check when your first game starts. I suggest arriving 30 minutes in advance of your first game.

For all others please check in at the sports registration desk on arrival to pick up your team package. The registration desk opens at 8am. I suggest arriving earlier than 8:30am. There may be lineups so please show up early.

In the package you will find your meal tickets, water tickets and bracelets for each player.

All waivers must be signed to receive your team package.  If you or your team mates have not signed the waiver electronically, please download the Sporting Waiver, print it, fill it out and bring with you on the day of the tournament.
