As heard on CFRB “Tech Talk”

“ The Virtual Walk For Life (www.virtualwalkforlife.com) brings charities into the 21^st century of fundraising. The great thing is that people can donate from around the world to their favorite charity while keeping fit at the same time. People with disabilities can broaden their participation. It has very low administrative costs. It’s a very reputable website which I strongly urge all charities to look at.”  Listen to the interview! (Windows Media Player or equivalent required.)

"The fundraising world would seem to have covered the waterfront in terms of ’athons – walk, run, jog, skip, lead your dog – is there anything new under the sun? Yes, as it happens. Now there is a virtual walk, one for which participants don’t have to leave their computer screens."   Read article...

What is Virtual Walk for Life?

Virtual Walk for Life is a new approach to fundraising. It takes the concept of a traditional walk or run one step further. And in doing so, it enables more.

More participation. More funds raised. More awareness.

How does a Virtual Walk work?

Volunteers contact friends, family and associates much as they would when they participate in a traditional walk or run event. But instead of merely asking for a donation, they explain that their contacts can participate too – from wherever they are whenever they have a few minutes. They simply log on to the website and get started right away, answering fun trivia questions to advance through the walk.

What  makes a Virtual Walk different?

By participating in the Virtual Walk, these contacts feel part of the event, and have fun while contributing to something worthwhile – rather than signing a cheque. At the same time, as they progress, they learn more about the organization and the cause it supports.

As well, a Virtual Walk makes canvassing easy – it can be done by phone or email, so the volunteers can get on with their busy schedule.
