On Wednesday, April 17, 2019, Amici Camping Charity’s Breakfast of Champions celebrated Amici’s great supporters at the BMO Conference & Event Centre as part of the official kick-off to the Canoe Heads for Kids 2019 season.
CBC Sports Host Scott Russell hosted the inspiring morning, which featured a keynote address from outdoor enthusiast Mark Hubner, who braved the elements of winter to cycle 1,000 km around Lake Ontario to raise money for underprivileged children to go to summer camp. Mark and his team raised over $30,000 to support Amici campers! Mark also showed a mini-documentary about the expedition called Lake Effect.
