What/Why:
Get fit, look good and save the planet!

Let's raise some money for the World Wildlife Fund and have some fun doing it!

Climb with us and receive a sweet WWF t-shirt (and maybe a coveted Yelp shirt, too), access to our exclusive get together and a chance to join your fellow Yelpers as we gasp and crawl our way up the CN Tower's 1776 steps. (Hey, I'm not saying you're unfit but... hell, prove me wrong.) All we need to do is raise at least $250 for every member of our team (not $250 individually as I originally thought). That should be a piece of cake for a good-looking and popular person such as yourself.

Not into exercise? Well you can still help without getting off your chair! Click on our link and donate to our cause. Help the planet while you help yourself to some relaxation!

I'm not sure if I can raise $250 yet, but I will try!

2/10/2012 Chad "I used to play DOOM I" M. says:

I has bad knees :(

2/10/2012 Eric "Things That Make You Go Mmmmmm" L. says:

You only need to raise $75 + $25 registration fee.

2/10/2012 Jennifer "I Am Hungry! I Need to Yelp About FOOD!" K. says:

@Eric: That is more managable!

2/10/2012 Eric "Things That Make You Go Mmmmmm" L. says:

Oh, wait, that is for a personal climb.

2/10/2012 Elaine "Danger Zone" K. says:

I'm hoping we can get the non-climbers to help us with the $250 goals for each of us. I'll call tomorrow and see if it's a group average we need.

2/10/2012 Elaine "Danger Zone" K. says:

@Chad, yo' cash don't!

2/11/2012 Denise S. says:

2/13/2012 Elaine "Danger Zone" K. says:

Thanks for joining, Denise! I really really hope we get to meet the panda!

I would love to be a part of this!!

2/13/2012 Denise S. says:

Yay! Myrem - so glad you're in:)

2/13/2012 Elaine "Danger Zone" K. says:

Hey guys, I just got some info in from the WWF crew. We need to raise $250 per person in our team, not individually (though that would be good, too). So if we have 5 people in our team, we need to raise $1,250 altogether.

I love this idea! I wish there was a way I could go but I already work an even that day! My friend is going and raising money for WWF.

We need more events like this one.

Don't forget, guys. If you can't do the climb, you can still help! Donate to our team at

We're so close to our goal!!! Every dollar counts! Instead of a coffee, how about donating a couple of bucks (or 10 if you're a fancy coffee person) to the cause? Climate change kind of ruins farmland, including coffee crops!

3/11/2012 Eric "Things That Make You Go Mmmmmm" L. says:

We are doing so well. Keep it up everyone! We need to plan a charity event!

3/28/2012 Elaine "Danger Zone" K. says:

For everyone who can't climb, but wants to support our event, we're hosting a night of drinks at Poetry Cafe.

Suggested donation is $10, but you can donate whatever you like! Come on out!

Ok just joined the team and the WWF CN Tower climb is next week - April 19th!  

HELP YELP reach our goals!

I'm in need of some sponsorship.

If you'd like to sponsor our climb and you hadn't done so already, please send an online donation via my page at:

http://my.e2rm.com/per...

I will go the distance and climb this tower on your behalf with utmost speed. I'm in training mode and in fact composing this message on a Stairmaster right now.  Come to think of it, for all my sponsors I'll write your name in masking tape and afix it on my t-shirt before the climb to show some pride. The BIGGER the donation the BIGGER the font size. :)

C'mon

4/20/2012 Edwin "the secret ingredient" A. says:

No the panda didn't climb that day. He only does trees.
