FE Report | Thursday, 31 May 2018
Bengal Tiger Team, powered by PACE and Radio Metro Mail, literally pulled a plane on Sunday at the Pearson International Airport, Toronto, Ontario to participate in a fundraising campaign to fight childhood blindness in Bangladesh.
The annual Orbis Plane Pull for Sight is a friendly competition, which brings together teams of 20 people to pull a 60-tonne 757 Boeing cargo plane 12 feet, in the fastest time, according to a press release.
An affiliate of Orbis International, a global non-profit, humanitarian organisation dedicated to ending avoidable blindness and visual impairment worldwide, Orbis Canada organised the fundraising event.
