Thank you for joining us for Walk 4 Hope! Your participation and fundraising efforts make a real difference by helping provide vital support, resources, and hope to individuals and families affected by cancer.

Ways to Collect Donations from Your Sponsors
There are two ways that you can collect donations to help reach your fundraising goals.
- Collect cash or cheque donations in person using the donation form
- Send friends and family to our website where they can make their donations by credit card: http://www.secancersupport.ca/walk-for-hope-sponsorship/
Who should you ask?
Everyone! As your friends, family, co-workers, group members and anyone you know.
Are donations tax receiptable?
Yes. SCSS will issue a tax receipt for any donation of $20 or more. Please ensure your donors provide their complete address and email address.
Fundraising Tips
1. Personalize Your Story
Share why you’re walking. A heartfelt message by email or on your social media can inspire people to give.
2. Set a Goal (and Share It!)
Let your supporters know your fundraising target — people love helping you reach a milestone.
3. Start with Your Inner Circle
Ask close friends and family first. Early donations can build momentum and show others that people are supporting you.
4. Use Social Media
Post updates, photos, and your fundraising link regularly. Don’t forget to thank sponsors publicly (they love the shoutout!). We have graphics and post ideas below that you can use as well.
5. Email or Text Your Network
A quick personal message to coworkers, extended family, or neighbors goes a long way. Include your “why” and the donation link.
6. Host a Mini Fundraiser
Get creative — try a bake sale, car wash, garage sale, or Facebook Live event. You can even do a “donate what you’d spend on coffee” day.
7. Offer a Fun Incentive
Let sponsors “vote” on something silly you’ll do if you hit your goal (wear a costume on walk day, do a TikTok dance, etc.).
8. Match Donations
Ask your employer if they’ll match your donations — or see if a generous friend or business will match up to a certain amount.
9. Don’t Be Afraid to Ask Again
People are busy — a polite reminder or update can prompt them to give. Try different times or formats (text, post, email).
10. Say Thank You!
Send a quick thank-you message or tag your sponsors in a post. Gratitude goes a long way and keeps the momentum going!
