Journey for Justice 2024
We are excited to invite you to our annual fundraising event on October 5, 2024! This year, we’ve made a significant change by organizing our own event, Journey for Justice, instead of participating in Ride for Refuge. To sign up as a rider, walker or to volunteer, follow the link above! If you register before the end of the day on Sunday, September 8th, you’re guaranteed a free t-shirt!
Church Center & Zeffy
Upfront, let’s explain the platforms we’re using.
To register for the event as a participant, walker or volunteer, head over to Church Center and sign up there. Families can sign up together under one simple registration (so much easier!).
Then, to donate to Elevation or one of the people/teams participating, head over to our Zeffy Fundraising page. There is no need to create an account, just click on Donate, and then select who you want to donate to, and go from there!
If you do want to raise your own funds, head over to the same Zeffy Fundraising page, and click on the Fundraise button to set up your own page with your target amount, profile photo and team name (use the first name section). It’s that simple!
Why the Change?
By hosting our own event, we can ensure that 100% of the funds raised go directly to our charities. The platform we’re using (Zeffy) will still provide automatic tax receipts for donations of $20 or more, ensuring a smooth transition for all participants.
What’s Staying the Same?
This year, the event will still be hosted at 22 Willow, as it has for the past few years. The timing of the event remains on par with how it has been recently, too:
09:00 AM – Check-In
09:30 AM – Ride & Walk Starts
11:00 AM – Snacks & Mingle
12:00 PM – Dismissal
The charities we’re raising funds for is also the same:
– Journey Elevation
– Compass Refugee Centre
– Sanctuary Refugee Health Centre
– KW Multicultural Centre – Refugee Services.
For those who prefer walking over riding, we’ll again have a walk along the Iron Horse Trail behind 22 Willow. If walking or riding are not your thing, you’re welcome to come cheer on the team or volunteer to help out, as usual! While we won’t be serving a full meal, snacks will be provided after the walk and ride.
We hope this new approach will continue to engage our supporters and allow us to make an even greater impact. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you on October 5th!
