Media advisory: CN Tower and Canada Lands employees and visitors will #spininthesky to "power the Tower" in support of United Way Greater Toronto
TORONTO, Nov. 4, 2019 /CNW/ - Starting on Thursday November 7 at 6:00 a.m., CN Tower and Canada Lands Company employees and guests will spin for 24 hours on stationary bikes placed around the Tower's Main Observation Level to raise funds in support of United Way Greater Toronto.
Pedal power from participants at 346m/1,136 feet above the ground will ignite a light show – spinning colours on the Tower's radome – which will be visible throughout the city in the early morning hours and throughout the night while the bikes are in motion.
Guests at the Tower during its first-ever #spininthesky event are invited to donate to United Way Greater Toronto on site and get on a bike to spin in solidarity with the CN Tower and Canada Lands Company staff.
Torontonians can show support with a donation to the United Way through their website at https://www.canadahelps.org/en/pages/spin-in-the-sky/ and track fundraising progress as the Tower lights in United Way's #UNIGNORABLE colour to provide a visual representation of the funds raised as a percentage of the goal.
