CONGRATULATIONS to our racers who conquered 118 kilometers of rugged terrain! Despite the rainy weather, the CAREERS team made sure to have a great time during the long weekend challenge, coming in 27th out of 61 mixed teams, and drawing attention to the Indigenous Youth Internship Program.

NOT ONLY WAS DEATHRACE CONQUERED but their fundraising goal was left in the dust! The original goal was $2,500, and with the generous matching donation from CAREERS Board Alumni Dave Tuccaro, they crossed the finish line with a stunning $5,700 raised. A huge thank you to all!

The fundraising goal may have been reached, but the journey to uplift Indigenous Youth is far from over. There's still time to contribute—and every donation helps build a stronger, brighter future. Let’s come together, hand in hand, for a meaningful victory lap that echoes with hope, empowerment, and community.
