GCWCC 15th Annual Grouse Grind Challenge 2011

This year's Grouse Grind Challenge marks the 15th anniversary of the event, growing from a smaller departmental event to its current Interdepartmental form. This year there were representatives from 19 departments and agencies in addition Loaned Representatives from United Way and Health Partners. Over 90 participants registered for this event and to date over $8,700 has been raised and the amount continues to climb as participants check back in with their pledge totals.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers that assisted to make this another great event! Thanks also to the Management of Grouse Mountain who generously donated the tram passes in support of GCWCC and please remember their worthy charity The Grind for Kids.
