What is Motionball you ask?
Motionball was founded by three best friends who happen to be brothers. Mark, Sean and Paul Etherington have been aligned with Special Olympics Canada since childhood when they volunteered at fundraising events organized by their parents, who co- founded the Sports Celebrities Festival, which has raised in excess of $25 million for Special Olympics Canada since 1983. Noticing a lack of integration between supporters and the athletes they support, Mark, Sean and Paul Etherington brought Motionball to life in 2002. Throughout the course of the Motionball calendar year more than 6,000 supports and Special Olympics athletes participate in 18 annual events in Calgary, Charlottetown, Halifax, Kelowna, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Saskatoon, Vancouver and Winnipeg. Motionball strives to encourage Canadians to come together and raise funds and awareness to ensure the long-term stability of the Special Olympics in Canada.
