12th annual toddle for tots
The 12th Annual Toddle for Tots will once again be sponsored by Subaru Canada,
Inc. This is the signature fundraising event for Toronto’s Ronald McDonald
House, a “home away from home” for out-of-town families whose children
are receiving specialized medical care for serious illness in Toronto.
Toddle for Tots is truly a story of kids helping kids. On Saturday,
September 24, 2005, over 2,000 children and their families will spend an
amazing, fun-filled day on a Fundraising Safari through the Toronto Zoo,
tracking down animals and participating in games at every station.
Children are asked to collect pledges for their efforts in completing
the Toddle Safari Map.
After proving to be a tremendous hit with children and adults alike
at last year’s event, world renowned children’s author and storyteller
Robert Munsch will return as a special guest this year.
Subaru Canada, Inc. is pleased to be the presenting sponsor for
their sixth Toddle for Tots. With the help of Subaru’s generous support,
over $450,000 has been raised for Toronto’s Ronald McDonald House.
Together, we are making a difference!

there’s horsepower, then there’s HORSEPOWER!
Last September, Subaru Canada, Inc.
participated in the Tournament of
Champions equestrian event to raise
money for the Children’s Wish Foundation
of Canada. The Tournament of Champions
plays host to Canada’s top equestrian
show jumping athletes as they compete
towards the coveted title of “Canada
Cup Champion.”
During the event, many of the riders took
a break to take part in The Subaru Celebrity
Ride ‘n’ Drive, which pitted a turbocharged
Subaru Legacy 2.5GT against four-footed
athletes with a different kind of horsepower.
Celebrity drivers including Camilla Scott,
David Perry, Art Hindle, Dale Hawerchuk
and Mark Dailey were paired with Grand
Prix show jumpers and their horses. In this
team event, celebrity drivers first negotiated
a course in the car, followed closely by their
Grand Prix team member who jumped a
course and then hopped in the car for a

turn behind the wheel.
In the end, the father-son team of
Randy and Keean White scored the
fastest time with the team of newscaster
Mark Dailey and the “Flying Frenchman,”
Yann Candele, coming in a close second.
Most importantly, the Subaru Celebrity
Ride ‘n’ Drive raised over $50,000 for the
Children’s Wish Foundation.
