If you cannot find the walker once you have followed the instructions on How to Donate to a Walker, please contact the walker to see if they have registered as a walker on the website. You may only donate online to a walker who has registered online.

If the walker does not intend to register online, you may give your donation to the walker by cash or cheque so that they may hand in the donation on walk day. Cheques are to be made payable to Parkinson Society BC.

During the donation process, the donor may have chosen to remain anonymous or hidden their donation amount displayed on your "Top Donors" list.

If you would like to see your complete list of donations, login to your Participant Page and click the Progress tab. Scroll down the page to view your list of donations.

If you have received cash, cheque, or e-transfer donations from others, you cannot retain these funds and then add them to your fundraising efforts by making a lump-sum payment with your personal credit card. If you try to make a lump-sum payment using your personal credit card, your donors will not receive their tax receipt as the system will think that you are making a personal donation.

There are two ways to message your team members. You can send an email to each of your team members or post a message to them that will appear in their Participant Centres if they have registered online.

We encourage you to use your social media, email, and phone calls to connect with individuals and let them know you are participating in SuperWalk. Where applicable, be sure to share a link to your participant page so people are able to donate to you directly online.

Personalize your ask. In your participant centre there are email templates which make requesting donations easier. However, most people are familiar with generic asks. If you add a personal touch by changing one to two sentences in the template, including adding your reasons for participating in Parkinson SuperWalk, you will be more likely to genuinely connect with your network.

The earlier you start fundraising the better! Remember, sometimes it takes multiple asks/reminders before a donation happens.

Yes, you may send donations that you have physically collected into the Parkinson Society BC office. However, we do not recommend sending cash by mail, so please total the monies on your form and then make out a cheque to Parkinson Society BC for the full amount. Along with this cheque you will need to include a completed pledge form, with all of your donors' information filled out, so that they receive a tax receipt if applicable.

Yes, we will still be offering incentive prizes for fundraising. Please see the Prizes and Incentives page for more information.

Please note that there is a cost for Parkinson Society British Columbia to provide gift card incentives to walkers. There is an option to opt-in/opt-out of this incentive upon registration, and the money saved will be invested to help British Columbians living with Parkinson's.

In order to qualify for incentive prizes, walkers are required to submit their Parkinson SuperWalk donation(s) by September 30, 2023. Donations will still be accepted after this date, but they will not tally towards incentive prize totals. Walkers will receive incentive prizes on or before December 31, 2023.
