Fundraising FAQs
How are fundraising incentive prizes earned?
Fundraising incentives are a great way to encourage participants to rally support from their networks and raise much-needed funds in support of the Stollery Children’s Hospital.
Incentive prizing will be awarded based on the total amount raised per participant based on their individual participant page fundraising totals.
Our teddy bear incentive is cumulative and can be earned in addition to higher incentive levels. Incentives over $250 are not cumulative and will be leveled-up and upgraded to the next incentive item.

AT HOME participants will receive their incentives along with their participant T-shirt prior to the event.
All incentives earned after May 10 will be mailed to participants after May 17.
Fundraising will remain open until May 31 and all donations will count towards reaching incentive levels over $250.
Is there a registration deadline?
Registration will be open until midnight, May 8.
The AT HOME registration deadline is April 26 to ensure timely shipping of all T-shirts and earned incentives.
