Heroes Challenge
May 9th, 2025

One day. Ten teams. Countless wishes.
On Friday, May 9, Southcentre Mall is joining forces with Make-A-Wish® Canada for the Heroes Challenge—a high-energy, community-powered fundraiser where ten local teams take on a series of fun, themed challenges throughout the mall. Each team is paired with a Wish Kid captain and tasked with raising $10,000—the average cost of granting one life-changing wish.
The goal? Raise $100,000 in one unforgettable day and bring the joy of a wish to more children facing critical illnesses in our community.
🗓 Date: Friday, May 9
🕙 Time: 10 AM – 1:30 PM
📌 Location: Centre Court, Southcentre Mall
🎉 Free to attend! The public is welcome to come watch, cheer, and support.
Best entrance: South doors between Sport Chek and Crate & Barrel
