I represent a Canadian Charity and want to register the charity to participate in the Scotiabank Charity Challenge. How do I register the charity?
The deadline to apply to become an official charity partner is May 1st, 2019. Click here to submit your contact information, and we will notify you when the 2019 Official Charity Partner Application opens.
Can I register several people to the Scotiabank Charity Challenge using the same form?
We recommend you register each participant individually as the charity rate will only apply to the first participant. Once registration is complete, a personal fundraising page will be automatically created for the participant. If there are several participants on the same form, only one personal fundraising page will be created and it will be for the first registered participant. In this case, the other participants will have to manually create their fundraising pages. Under the Scotiabank Charity Challenge, it is best to register one participant per form.
