Would you like to say that you pulled a plane this summer? ORBIS Canada is proud to announce that we will be hosting our 6th annual Plane Pull for Sight event, on Sunday, June 1st. Join us, and become a sight-saving hero!

What is a Plane Pull?

The plane pull is a fun team competition to see which group can pull a 757 cargo airplane 12-feet in the fastest amount time. Teams are made up of 20 -25 members and all proceeds from this event go towards supporting the ORBIS Kids Sight program; a program which benefits blind and visually impaired children throughout the developing world. In addition to the pulls, entertainment will be available on-site which will include touring static aircraft, a henna artist, face painting and a cupcake food truck!

How Can I get Involved?

There are several ways you can participate: by creating a team, registering as an individual or volunteering for the event. To learn more about the Pull for Sight event, please visit www.pullforsight.ca.
