Highlights: Burpees for Bucks & Virtual Christmas Run
Nova Health Club • January 10, 2021
BURPEES FOR BUCKS
At Nova our ‘Burpees for Bucks’ made use of a spinning wheel with each spin raising $10 and Nova coaches doing the number of burpees the wheel stopped spinning on. In total we raised $2640 for Christmas Wonders! Overall, Nova coaches performed a total of 2210 burpees! The Nova coach who performed the most burpees was Coach Zack who completed a very impressive 838 burpees... 500 of which were straight!!
Thank you to each and everyone of you who participated in the fun by donating and spinning and thank you to all the Nova coaches who had to do burpees! Together we made a difference and were able to help Oakville residents enjoy a Christmas holiday without the stress and pressure they normally face each day. Thank you all for your generosity.
VIRTUAL CHRISTMAS RUN
Every year we host our annual Christmas Run event: a 5km run/walk for our members followed by a catered Social Gathering. Of course, this year things were a little different considering everything. Instead, we hosted a Virtual Christmas Run in which anyone could participate anywhere and at any time as long as they tagged us on social media! Our community is amazing and without doubt we took our annual tradition and were able to adapt to new normals making it a success! A big THANK YOU to our local businesses who sponsored our event:
Rosewater Spa
Lemonwood
Sotto Sotto
Olives en Folie

In total we had 25 participants with 57 entries!! That is 285km of ground covered by all of you who participated! We are so very thankful for the support of our members and our community in making this a success. A special congratulations to Christl Beck & Shirley Smith, our basket winners for the event!
