College Pro Northern Ontario General Manager Patricia Seaton and Erin Scheel, head of Special Projects, recently participated in the Southern Ontario Amazing Race for charity. The two raced as Team College Pro, proudly sporting their CP headbands, for the second year in a row. Between last year’s race and this year’s, they raised $6,500 for the Children’s Foundation, and half of that money was thanks to their College Pro network.

Erin Scheel shares details about the race here:

The Southern Ontario Amazing Race is a completely insane race weekend modeled after the televised Amazing Race. The race takes place over 2 full days and it combines a series of physical, mental, and completely random challenges. Along the way you need to ask a lot of strangers for help with directions, and you even hitch rides from strangers to get around. We’ve now competed for 2 years—and have completed 20 challenges over the course of each race. In the same fashion as the Amazing Race, you’re traveling around to different regions and completing a series of challenges along the way to get your next clue to your next challenge.

Below are some of the crazy challenges they completed during the race, which had them traveling around to different regions and completing a series of challenges along the way in order to gather clues that point you to your next destination.

Toil: we had to move a full skid of 18kg bags a sheep manure from one skid to another without breaking any sacks and without letting the stack falling down. Each team member had to move all the bags, which were approximately 100, in one direction.

Pysanky: At a Ukrainian church, one team member (in this case Erin) had to replicate a demonstration egg using the traditional Ukrainian Pysanky technique using melted wax and a series of dyes to decorate your egg.

Collaborynth: This challenge took the two about 1.5 hours! One had to be the mover and one had the director. The challenge was to get a golf ball through a crazy plywood maze full of holes. Erin had to give Patty verbal instructions on how to tilt the platform to get the ball through the maze while keeping away from the holes.

College Pro is proud of Erin and Patty’s charitable efforts!
