Al’s $21 for 21km kicked off in 2014 when listeners of the CFAX 1070 Morning Show were invited to support an exciting challenge—$1 for every kilometer run in the Oak Bay Half Marathon. The goal? To raise funds for CFAX Santas Anonymous Society, a charity dedicated to helping local kids in need.
Since then, Al’s $21 for 21km has raised over $326,000 through 10 successful half marathons, and we’re gearing up for the 11th! The incredible support from our community has been the driving force behind this initiative, showing the power of coming together to give back.
It’s more than just a run—it’s about making a real impact. The funds raised help provide mental health support, hunger relief, education, and life-changing summer experiences for children in our community.
