What forms of payment do you accept at registration?

How can my friends and family sponsor me?
They can give you cash or a personal cheque (made out to World Vision Canada) which you will submit during registration.
If they have donated $20 or more and have added their name and address to your sponsor form, they will receive a tax receipt.
If you have friends who want to sponsor you online you can send them to our Donate Now link.
They will receive an email confirmation of their donation which they must  forward to you.
You will print a copy of the e-receipt and bring it to the park to hand in at registration.
This way their donation will be attributed to your total.

Where is my tax receipt from THE 2009 EVENT?
The $25 registration fee is not eligible for a tax receipt.
Sponsor funds submitted at the event last year were received and processed by World Vision in 2009.
Receipts will be sent in February of 2010 so they can be claimed on 2009 tax returns.
