This yearโs 12th Annual Volta Luso Charities, presented by @ LiUNA Local 183, emphasized the power of our community, highlighting their generosity and strength. We welcomed over 1,000 participants at both our Mississauga and Hamilton locations, all in support of individuals living with disabilities and their families!
With the great support we received this year, we raised over $335,000 (with donations still coming in!). These funds support our ongoing day programs, and the building of our 24/7 supportive housing for those adults with disabilities.
In Mississauga, we were honoured to be joined once again by @ Mr. Mike Trauner, a highly decorated military veteran and world-class Para-athleteโalong with his wife, Leah, and his team of para-athletes. Mike led our 80 km cyclists and had the honour of cutting the first ribbon of Volta, inspiring everyone with his powerful example of resilience, perseverance, and generosity.
In Hamilton, the focus was on bringing the community together. Riders, volunteers, and supporters enjoyed a fun-filled day, creating lasting memories and continuing the momentum of the Volta tour.
Throughout the day, the positive energy was undeniable, and people left Volta with a deep sense of fulfillment. Supporting a meaningful cause has a way of lifting everyone involvedโand your support helps uplift the lives of our participants and their families every day.
