Let’s PULL together to eliminate preventable blindness transforming the lives of blind and visual impaired children from around the world. ORBIS Canada, with support from FedEx Canada, presents ORBIS Pull For Sight 2014 benefitting the ORBIS’ Kids Sight Program.

What is a Plane Pull?  The pull is a fun team competition to see which group can pull a FedEx cargo airplane the fastest. Teams are made up of 25 members, who all line up adjacent to a huge rope attached to the aircraft. The starter signals when to start and starts the stopwatch. After the team pulls the aircraft 12 feet, the stopwatch stops and the elapsed time is recorded as the team score.

Who Can Participate?  The Plane Pull is a team competition, so we need 25-30 enthusiastic people who are motivated to try something new and fun!
