MOTIONBALL LONDON
MARATHON OF SPORT LONDON
presented by Xtreme Hospitality
THANK YOU MOTIONBALL LONDON!
We were joined on Oct 14th at Oakridge Secondary School by 10 Special Olympics athletes and 10 teams! We raised over $29,000 net at the 2023 Marathon of Sport London! Check out motionball’s facebook page for pictures!
We’re bringing athletes of all abilities together on the playing field. Teams of up to 10 will be joined by 1-2 local Special Olympics athletes and together they will participate in a variety of sports and activities all while raising funds and awareness in support of the Special Olympics Canada Foundation.
While fundraising is one of our goals, Marathon of Sport is about so much more. This day not only brings awareness to the Special Olympics movement, but allows people with and without intellectual disabilities to interact, build lifelong friendships, and ultimately create more inclusive communities.
Hosted by Devo Brown, the motionball Marathon of Sport London presented by Xtreme Hospitality will be a fun-filled day of sport you don’t want to miss!

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS
#NOGOODWAY
motionball is working to promote positivity and inclusion, demonstrating that there is #NoGoodWay to use the “r-word” (retard). This word is hurtful, outdated, and brings back memories of being bullied and excluded for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
As motionballers, we are proud ambassadors of the #NoGoodWay campaign. Learn more and take the pledge at motionball.com/nogoodway.
motionball is proud to donate 70% of the funds raised from motionball Edmonton events to Special Olympics Alberta. This funding is directed to support programs for local athletes in the community. 25% is directed to the Special Olympics Canada Foundation, whose mission is to ensure the long-term financial integrity of the Special Olympics movement in Canada and to fund long term athlete and volunteer growth. The remaining 5% will help grow the #NoGoodWay Campaign aiming to end the use of the R-word (retard) in everyday conversation. We’re encouraging Canadians to make the choice to eliminate the R-word from their vocabulary and empower them to take #NoGoodWay to their circles of influence.
motionball’s mandate is to introduce the next generation of volunteers and donors to the Special Olympics movement through integrated social and sporting events. motionball now hosts 50+ annual events in 18 cities across Canada. motionball is proud to have donated $17M to the Special Olympics Canada Foundation since our inception in 2002.
