November 10, 2016 – Conquer the Tower made a big splash this Thursday, Nov. 10, at the Canada Games Complex. The annual fundraiser saw 17 brave participants take the plunge in support of P.R.O. Kids and the Thunder Bay Diving Club.
Local businesses nominated an employee who agreed to jump from one of the Canada Games Complex platforms based on their level offunds raised. The top jump off the 10 metre tower saw participants raise $1,000 in pledges. The majority of this year’s participants were proudly able to conquer this considerable plunge.
Through sponsorships and pledges, Conquer the Tower 2016 raised $28,889 which brings the event’s five-year running total to $107,002.
