Over October 26 and 27th I had the opportunity to follow along with the Air Canada Foundation during the 2018 Rally for Kids in support of the Pinball Clemons Foundation. I not only got to follow along as their team completed the Rally for Kids but also got to see their behind-the-scenes work in order to make the event a smashing success.

2018 Rally for Kids

On Friday evening, all the 23 teams that raised over $25,000 got together at the Celebrity Draft party, an event where each team got to choose their very own celebrity navigator. After some schmoozing and speeches, and a last minute trade with another team (in exchange for a pair of tickets for the cause!) Team Air Canada Foundation ended up with their top choice, Jerome “JYD” Williams. A man with a big heart who is already very much involved in causes that support youth.

Team Air Canada Foundation was comprised of Pilot Rohit Dhamija, celebrity navigator Jerome Williams, and three young ladies participating in the Pinball Clemons Foundation’s programs: Brenda, Rachel and Samantha. As a team, they raced through the city completing pitstop challenges.

Air Canada Foundation Pit Stop

It was only fitting that Air Canada’s pit stop was located in an airplane hanger and participants spent their time working as a team to solve challenges and collect clues.

Manned by over 40+ Air Canada employees and Air Canada Foundation ambassadors the teams were tasked in airline-related challenges that included transferring luggage in a bin which would in real life to be loaded onboard an aircraft, matching customer needs to the airline codes that represented them, escaping a 321, matching vintage Air Canada uniforms to the perfect year they were worn and of course, a flight deck checklist.

The whole experience was one that most people don’t get to experience in a lifetime and chances are that most participants will be talking about it for years to come!

Gala Dinner

The weekend was full of so much fun and positive energy and Pinball Clemons really managed to corral the crowds during the Gala Dinner to keep on giving. 15-20 minutes before the auction even started, attendees (mostly from the Toronto community) managed to raise over $200,000 to send 20 kids to programs led by the Pinball Foundation. An amazing achievement!

The fun and generosity didn’t end there though. Participants also bid on prizes such as days on set with Kim Coates and Djimon Hounsou — these sold not once but twice and Air Canada added extra incentive into the pot by donating pairs of Business class airline tickets to make it happen.

Altogether the Rally for Kids raised nearly 1 million dollars to support the Pinball Clemons Foundation to help marginalized local youth break through the barriers placed in front of them. For more information on Air Canada’s participation please head on over here.

    Exporting and Sharing My Design
    After inputting my measurements and preferencesтАЪ I dove headfirst into the exciting world of layout experimentation. KitchenCraft Pro offered a plethora of optionsтАЪ from the classic galley style to the more spacious L-shape and U-shape designs. I started by exploring the galley layoutтАЪ digitally dragging and dropping cabinets and appliances to visualize the workflow. I quickly realized it wouldn’t suit my needs тАУ the limited counter space was a major drawback. NextтАЪ I experimented with an L-shape configurationтАЪ strategically placing the sinkтАЪ stoveтАЪ and refrigerator to form an efficient work triangle. This felt more promising. I meticulously adjusted the placement of islands and peninsulasтАЪ carefully considering their impact on traffic flow and overall spaciousness. The software’s intuitive drag-and-drop functionality made this process remarkably easy and enjoyable. I even tried a daring U-shaped designтАЪ envisioning a grandтАЪ chef-like workspace. While initially appealingтАЪ I found it slightly cramped for my needs. The software allowed me to easily switch between different layoutsтАЪ instantly visualizing the impact of each change. I spent hours tweaking the arrangement of cabinetsтАЪ appliancesтАЪ and workspacesтАЪ constantly evaluating the practicality and aesthetic appeal of each configuration; I played around with different cabinet depths and widthsтАЪ experimenting with the placement of pantry units and maximizing storage space. I even considered adding a breakfast bar to one of the layoutsтАЪ envisioning family gatherings around it. The ability to instantly see the results of my adjustments was invaluableтАЪ allowing me to make informed decisions based on both functionality and personal preference. It was a truly iterative processтАЪ refining and perfecting the design until I found the perfect balance between form and function. Through this experimentationтАЪ I discovered that the L-shape layoutтАЪ with a cleverly positioned islandтАЪ provided the optimal blend of efficiency and spaciousness for my kitchen.
