2010 Yogathon |
 |
 |
|
This year the 2010 Yogathon will be going provincial with events taking place in Brockville, Chatham, London, Windsor, Halton/Peel, Toronto, Kingston and Peterborough! If there is no Yogathon in your city but you would like to participate, make sure to register for our Little Yogathons where you can take a class or do an entire day of yoga at your favourite studio and raise funds to support the SSO.
Funds raised through the 2010 Yogathon support SSO's youth education and outreach programs. These programs raise awareness of early signs and symptoms of psychosis and enable us to better support families facing the early onset of psychosis or schizophrenia.

2010 Walk of Hope |

It’s that time of year again – time to throw on your walking shoes, tie up those laces and hit the road for the 2010 Walk of Hope for Schizophrenia. This May, the SSO will once again proudly launch our annual province-wide fundraising event, which for the past 17 years has brought families, friends and SSO supporters together to raise funds and awareness. We invite you to join us at the Shortest Walk for the Biggest Cause and help us reach our fundraising goal of $170,000!
