Muscular Dystrophy Canada - Fundraising

Fundraising

Muscular Dystrophy Canada hosts many events and initiatives to raise funds. The funds raised help provide research and much needed services for people with neuromuscular disorders. Muscular Dystrophy Canada events also raise awareness about these disorders and get entire communities involved. Some of the these fundraising efforts are:

  • Walk for Muscular Dystrophy: this is Muscular Dystrophy Canada's signature event and over 55 events are held across Canada annually
  • Fire Fighter Events: Fire Fighters give their time to organize Rooftop Campouts, boot drives, ladder sits, pancake breakfasts, raffles and much more.
  • Wheelchair Dare: Participants spend the whole day in a wheelchair and experience what it's like to have limited mobility to raise funds and awareness
  • Buck 4 Luck: Participating retail locations sell lucky shamrocks for one dollar
  • Hop for Muscular Dystrophy: this event raises funds, while educating preschool and elementary school children about neuromuscular disorders in a fun environment of hopping and dancing. It’s also an opportunity to promote compassionate, inclusive school communities, where people of all physical abilities are accepted for who they are.
