Help Us Win $10,000 with the Great Canadian Giving Challenge!

This June, help us win $10,000 by taking part in Great Canadian Giving Challenge (GCGC), a month-long contest that kicks off on June 1^st.

We invite you to take part in this national celebration and support your favourite charity. What makes GCGC even more exciting is that charities can win a $10,000 donation.

Here’s how…

Starting today, every $1 donation we receive during the month of June will count as one entry into to the contest to win $10,000. The more entries we get, the better chance we have to win the grand prize!
