we did it! over $100,000 raised!
HISTORY
The “Tulipathon” Charity Walk was initiated by the late Dr. Farook Tareen, with support from the Ottawa Muslim Association. The first walkathon fundraiser was held on May 27 2000, and became an annual event where the proceeds were donated to different Ottawa charities. MHI became the recipient of the walkathon and started a long standing relationship with the Tareen Family. Dr. Tareen even served on MHI's Board of Directors!
After becoming a supporter and part of the MHI family, Dr. Farook Tareen gifted the walkathon to MHI. Now every year, MHI hosts the Tulipathon walkathon fundraiser at Dow's Lake inviting MHI’s 70+ faith group members to walk among the tulips and raise money for the tenants who live at MHI communities. MHI provides more than $400, 000 in subsidies to our tenants every year with 100% of net proceeds of Tulipathon going to the subsidies program.
