The annual Triadventure was the major fundraiser for Nikibasika for 14 years.

Commitment.
The Triadventure was a three day athletic event every August, where crew and athletes came together to create a mobile village of support and commitment to a shared project. Athletes swam, ran, paddled canoes and rode bikes across a big chunk of Ontario. Crew organized, fed, cheered and kept the athletes safe.

Connection.
On the Saturday morning of the Triadventure, the Canadians called the youth in Uganda. We sang to each other, talked and shared our hopes.

Community.
Every participant worked with their own community to raise funds, sharing their experience of why this project matters so much. Their supporters came through — testament to the power of this group. Together, over 14 years, we raised more than $1.4 million, all of which went directly to the project in Uganda.
