ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This event not only raises funds in support of mental health services in our community, it also helps to fight the stigma around mental health by highlighting services and showing support for those experiencing mental health related challenges.

Following the march, everyone is invited to join us for a light lunch and entertainment back at Cambridge Civic Square.

Porchlight is committed to making this an accessible event and you are invited to complete the march by walking, rolling, running, or moving in any other way of moving which brings you joy. Four-legged participants are also welcome. If you have any concerns about accessibility, you're invited to reach out to Jonathan, the event's accessibility officer, at jonathanc@porchlightcnd.org.

NEW THIS YEAR: PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL CHARITIES AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS

Do you represent a local charity or community organization that provides important local services and would like to raise funds for your work through Cambridge Moves for Mental Health?

For the first time, this year, Porchlight is inviting eligible* charities and community organizations to join the campaign as "Beneficial Partners" and will split all funds raised through your organization's team page 50/50 to support your work.

Porchlight recognizes that mental health is impacted by many factors which are beyond the scope of our services, but which may be served by other local charities and organizations. Events of this scale take significant resources to organize, and we want to support other organizations who are providing these important services.

Organizations wishing to participate should reach out to the campaign organizer, Jonathan, by email at jonathanc@porchlightcnd.org.

*Eligibility for “beneficial partners” will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and Porchlight reserves the right to deem an entity ineligible or any or no reason at its sole discretion including perceived reputational impact partnership may have upon Porchlight. In general, entities that provide not-for-profit services within Waterloo Region will be considered eligible. For-profit organizations, political entities, and entities that do not operate within Waterloo Region will be deemed ineligible. Religious organizations will generally be deemed eligible, so long as the funds are dedicated to a specific program of general community service that does not restrict access based upon prohibited grounds of discrimination as identified in the Canada Human Rights Act.
