Noelle's Gift of Fitness Fundraiser

Noelle’s Gift was established in January 2013, in honour of a beautiful, dedicated caring volunteer and school teacher named Noelle Paquette. She recognized that there are many marginalized students who are victims of circumstances beyond their control and require assistance. Noelle was always aware of others in need and she believed every child deserves an equal opportunity to becoming a “Smash Hit” as she would often say to her students.

On Thursday, December 2 2021 members from Hamilton Fitness Community came together virtually to move in support of Noelle's Gift of Fitness. Together we walked 5km and sweat with cardio kickboxing! After our cool down, we read poetry, starting with a poem called "Sunflowers".

Congratulations Hamilton Fitness Community, together we raised $550 for Noelle's Gift!
