The Montreal Community Cares Foundation (MCCF) is holding their second annual Power of Sports walk-a-thon. Local big-league athletes such as former NBA player Kris Joseph and professional soccer player James Pantemis joined the event to show their support.

The foundation said kids have been less active due to the pandemic and will be using the money they raised Saturday to help them get back into sports.

“There’s power in sports,” said Denburk Reid, founder of the Montreal Community Cares Foundation.
