RBC Move for Kids Sake

February 16th – March 31st!

ABOUT RBC MOVE FOR KIDS SAKE:

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have transitioned our annual winter events (Bowl for Kids Sake and Curl for Kids Sake) to a virtual fundraiser. This year, we are inviting our dedicated participants to Move for Kids Sake instead!

Our month-long initiative allows participants to stay healthy and socially distant, while encouraging physical activity. Participants will challenge themselves (and each other) to be active, and in doing so, raise pledges in support of mentoring programs for young people in our Halton and Hamilton communities.

EVERYONE CAN MOVE FOR KIDS SAKE!

REGISTER > CREATE FITNESS GOAL > RAISE PLEDGES > COMPLETE FITNESS GOAL

Participating is easy! You can register as an individual, team or corporate group. Simply choose your favourite fitness activity or challenge yourself by setting a fitness goal:

• DANCE-A-THON: For every $5 I raise, I will dance for :30-seconds on Facebook Live on XYZ date/time
• DOG WALKING: For every $10 I raise, I will walk my dog 1 km
• AEROBICS: For every $100 I raise, I will do 1,000 jumping jacks
• DAILY STEP CHALLENGE: When I raise $500, I will complete 25,000 steps in one day
• GO THE DISTANCE: If my family and friends help me raise $1,000, I will hike 15 km in one day
• EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT: If my colleagues help me raise $2,500, I will do a polar bear dip in Lake Ontario

COMMUNITY IMPACT:

For every $1,200 raised we can create and monitor one match for one year. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues into the winter, Big Brothers Big Sisters programs are in full swing, albeit remotely. Virtual mentoring has allowed us to continue to provide young people with a caring mentor and friend, especially when needed most. Proceeds of Move for Kids Sake will help support virtual mentoring programs.
