Pledges

Thank You! By collecting pledges, you will help ensure every child is safe.

Pledge forms are part of the registration form. Please print several copies if you need more space.

Cheques should be made payable to Family Services of Greater Vancouver. Tax receipts will be issued for pledges of $20 and over or, for smaller amounts, upon request.

Online Pledges

Send an e-mail to your friends and family, inviting them to visit www.walkforachild.com to support your Walk for a Child by pledging you online. All they have to do is click on the "Pledge a Participant" link, enter your last name or e-mail address and make their donation. You will receive an automated e-mail, advising you that "Aunt Mary" made a pledge to your walk. The amount collected online will go towards your final pledge total.

Prizes

Pledge Prizes: Join us after the Walk for a Child for many fun pledge prize draws. You will receive an entry into our pledge draw for every $50 you collect in pledges (e.g. if you collect $200 in pledges, you receive 4 entries into the prize draw). Pledge prizes include:

Tickets for two to a 2007/2008 Canucks Regular Season game
A weekend getaway to Victoria

Start collecting those pledges—the more you collect, the more chances to win!

Pledge Incentives: Every individual who collects $250 in pledges will be eligible to have their registration fee refunded.

Pledge Drop-Off

Because of the timing of the prize draws, it would help us out tremendously if you could drop your pledges off in advance:

Where:
Family Services of Greater Vancouver office
1616 West 7th Ave (West 7th and Fir).

When:
Tuesday, May 22 - Thursday, May 24
9:00 am - 7:30 pm

If you are unable to drop them off in advance, we will accept them on walk day, but they must be received no later than 10:00 am to be eligible for the prize draws.

Tips for collecting pledges

Start early - ask friends and family to support your Walk for a Child.
Set specific pledge total goals and tell your friends and family about those goals.
Get the word out that you are raising money to help ensure children are safe.
Ask your employer to support you in your Walk for a Child.
Learn a little bit about Family Services of Greater Vancouver and make sure your supporters know that all of the pledges collected go directly to support our children's programs.

THANK YOU for supporting Walk for a Child! We look forward to seeing you on May 27.
