Thank you to everyone for making this our most successful fundraising event yet!

We had a record breaking day while fulfilling CHAIRE's mission to expand our knowledge of the interrelationships between people, animals, and the environment. The funds raised will help us continue our mission and create even more opportunities for research, education, and outreach for our CHAIRE community. We hope to see you at this event again in fall 2022!
