Last year, with the incredible support of the community, we raised over $15,000 through the Scotiabank Charity Challenge for our Lifelong Learning program. This year, our goal is to raise $10,000 for our Basic Needs program.
This May, show your support for women by running or walking in a 5km, 10km, half-marathon or marathon race. All genders are welcome to participate.
How to register:
- Visit Scotiabank Marathon’s website (click ‘Register’ and choose your race).
- When registering, select the Women’s Centre of Calgary from the Charity Challenge drop-down menu.
- After you have registered, follow the instructions in your confirmation email to set-up a personal fundraising page that can be shared with friends and family via email, Facebook and Twitter. Detailed instructions for setting up your personal fundraising page available here.
- Don’t forget to join Team Women’s Centre!
Also, it is not mandatory for participants to raise funds, but any contributions to help us reach our team goal are greatly appreciated.
