Proceeds from this year’s jumpathon at the Harriston Kinsmen Pool will assist Ontario Miss Midwest Jordan Scholten in her efforts to raise funds for the GetInTouchForHutch Buddy Bench program.
Scholton, a Harriston resident, choose the charity as the recipient of her fundraising efforts during the coming year after winning the Ontario Miss Midwest title on July 9 in Walkerton.
The jumpathon will be held at the Harriston pool from 3 to 6:30pm on Aug. 16. Participants must pre-register by Aug. 14 at the pool, at Harriston Bakery (22 Elora Street) or Harry Stones (19 Elora Street).
Participants can enjoy a barbecue, pool activities and prizes for $15 or $40 for a family of four. Community members are also welcome to attend the event and purchase food.
Organizers are looking for participants on a celebrity team.
Each will receive a Miss Mid West certificate recognizing their efforts on one of the 10 challenge events, such as biggest splash, furthest jump, best cannonball or best front flip. For information call 519-889-1781.
