Volunteer with the Power of Movement

     

Help us BEAT ARTHRITIS & AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES!

Volunteer March 4th and become a part of history as we celebrate Canada’s largest yoga fundraiser, the POWER of MOVEMENT, while raising money and awareness for the 4.6 million Canadians living with these diseases!

It all started in 2005 when Dorna Chee made a phone call to the Arthritis Research Foundation in Toronto with an idea.

As a yoga teacher, Dorna had turned to her yoga breathing exercises to help her get through a long stay in hospital after being diagnosed with lupus, and she wanted to share her experience with other people who might benefit from yoga to manage an autoimmune illness. Dorna found support at the Arthritis Research Foundation, and the event was born.

In 2007 all initial expectations were surpassed. The inaugural event was hosted at the Wellesley Community Centre with 250 in attendance raising more than $50,000. Since then the event has outgrown the Wellesley and Toronto. In 2009 it became a National event and was hosted across Canada, from Nanaimo to Halifax.

Power of Movement was founded on one women's dream, the passion of volunteers and supporters and a lot of community engagement.

We are currently seeking volunteers for registration, greeters, mat placement, refreshments, and clean up for the following locations:

Fort Garry Hotel- Grand Ballroom
222 Broadway
