    health consequences.

SOCIAL SCENE


 1. SOCIAL SCENE | COMMUNITY BUILDERS: THE LAW ENFORCEMENT TORCH RUN
    
    “Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” Athlete
    Kimana Mar recited the Special Olympics oath, a quote from the late Eunice
    Kennedy Shriver, the founder of the Special Olympics. Kennedy Shriver said
    the powerful words when the first Special Olympics were held in 1968 in
    Chicago. Decades later, the Special Olympics has become a global movement
    that has changed lives and attitudes for countless athletes with
    intellectual disabilities. The Ontario Law Enforcement Torch Run is the
    largest public awareness vehicle and grassroots fundraiser for the Special
    Olympics. Since the event’s inception, $47 million has been raised to help
    cover the expenses of programming, uniforms, field rentals and costs
    associated with running the Special Olympics. Over the years the Torch Run
    has evolved and now encompasses a variety of innovative fundraising
    platforms including Polar Plunges, Tip-A-Cops, NHL Alumni Games, Torch
    Rides, Endurance Series and more. On Thursday, Oct. 12, a sea of red Torch
    Run shirts could be spotted as the group did a five kilometre run through
    Ottawa’s downtown for the Law Enforcement Torch Run Opening Ceremony. The
    event raised funds and awareness for the Special Olympics locally, with
    members from the Ottawa Police Service, the RCMP, OPP, Parliamentary
    Protective Service and OC Transpo special constables coming together to
    participate with the athletes and volunteers. “I would not have had the
    opportunity to be a world champion without the help of volunteers, sponsors
    and donors like you,” Kimana Mar said. “Special Olympics are only possible
    because of caring people like you. The truth is, everyone is a champion when
    they are involved with Special Olympics.” For more information or to make a
    donation, head to www.torchrunontario.com. If you know of someone doing
    something exceptional to help, we would love to share their story. Please
    send details to socialscene@postmedia.com and we will be in touch.

    was raised as guests enjoyed a lovely evening at the French Embassy. For
    more information on Salus or to make a donation, please go to

 4. SOCIAL SCENE | COMMUNITY BUILDERS: PURPLE TIE GALA
    
    While the Purple Tie Gala in support of Cornerstone Housing for Women is
    already sold out, it’s not too late to help the organization. The colourful
    evening of fun will be held Saturday, Oct. 14, at the National Arts Centre
    to raise funds and awareness for women and gender-diverse adults in Ottawa.
    The first women-only shelter in Ottawa, Cornerstone Housing for Women began
    in 1983 with three cots in the basement of All Saints Church. The
    organization has grown dramatically, now providing shelter to 125 women and
    supportive housing to 110 women across a handful of housing communities in
    the city. Funds raised from this year’s gala will help with the new Eccles
    Street supportive housing building that will provide a safe home for 46
    women. Funds will also cover some of the costs associated with running the
    shelters, homes and programming, which is more than $1 million per year. “It
    has been an especially difficult time with the lack of affordable housing,
    funding decreases and the fentanyl crisis,” said Kate Jackson, Cornerstone’s
    acting executive director. “At Cornerstone we really believe that everyone
    deserves a home and a safe space to heal with dignity. It’s a challenging
    time but our community has stepped up and supported us.” Though you may have
    missed your opportunity for the chance to dance the night away in your
    most-loved purple outfit, you can still donate to Cornerstone and take part
    in the online auction connected to the event. For more information, head to
    www.cornerstonewomen.ca. If you know of someone doing something exceptional
    to help, we would love to share their story. Please send details to
    socialscene@postmedia.com and we will be in touch.
