Raising Funds for the Team GIVE’R Foundation
We have created this foundation in honour of our friend, Kenneth McAlpine.
The word GIVE’R has two meanings; give it all you got, 100%, full commitment and Give Back to those in need! Kenneth was the ultimate Give Back guy. He demonstrated this kind, wholehearted behavior on a daily basis in every community he joined.
We focus on his two biggest passions in life; cooking and skiing by supporting and giving back to those in need. These people are either looking to pursue culinary arts as a career or get into the sport of skiing or advance their skillsets to new levels.
Kenneth’s Walk on Saturday September 20
It’s a Saturday afternoon 2.5 km guided walk around Duntroon Highlands with friends and family in small groups of 20-25.
This year we are celebrating the 5th anniversary of Kenneth’s Walk and adding in a 7th station! We will also have a Live Auctioneer to auction off some of our amazing prizes!
Groups start from one of the 7 sampling stations at noon after the ring-in by the bagpiper. They move to the next station every 35 minutes. Each station features the delicious creations from a local chef paired with a local beverage and a fun game.
During the walk, enjoy the company of great friends, family and memories while enjoying the fresh air, fall colours and breathtaking views.
Enjoy the Apres!
