On Saturday August 28th, close to 100 people gathered to express their love for hockey, good food and great prizes. The Summer Slapshot Hockey Tournament was a huge success as it raised over $3000 in its second year of existence.
The 40 hockey players and nearly 60 fans made the best out of a rainy day. Elite Performance provided physiotherapy services for the entire day, Pinnacle Staffing Solution hosted a barbeque lunch for the party and Booster Juice provided refreshments to all in attendance.
On Oct 22nd, Project Echo, along with Elite Performance Centres, the Manitoba Moose, Power 97 and Gorilla Jack hosted the first ever charity bench press contest held in Manitoba.
Nicknamed "Pump your Chests for Breasts" the event was a fundraiser for a local breast cancer initiative "Keeping Abreast". Held at the MTS Centre, the event was well received. There were over 40 competitors who collectively raised over $6000.
Project Echo is proud to support the first annual Project Echo Celebrity Poker Tournament hosted by Obby Khan.
The poker tournament will take place on Thursday May 26th at McPhillips Street Station Casino. There will be over $3000 in cash and prizes distributed throughout the evening. The charity format of the tournament means that you don't even need to know how to play poker in order to win a few prizes.

Thanks to our Sam’s Christmas 2010 supporters...

Mary was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. After the initial shock, the courageous mother of four decided to face the disease head on and undergo a lumpectomy, 6 months of intensive chemo-therapy followed by 4 rounds of radiation therapy.
