How it works

 

Ready to make an impact?

This May, let’s move 30 minutes per day and fundraise to support the BC Cancer Foundation.   

Here’s how to get started, plus everything you need to know about participating in this year’s Workout to Conquer Cancer.

Step 1: Register

1. Select your registration type:

  • Create a team (learn how to start a team below)

  • Join an existing team 

  • Join as a solo participant

2. Select a payment option:

  • Pay a $30 registration fee per registrant, with no fundraising minimum

  • Waive the registration fee, by committing to fundraise a minimum of $150 per registrant before June 1

    Note: Registration fees are not eligible for a tax receipt. 100% of your registration fee covers event administration, so that 100% of the funds you raise support BC Cancer patients across the province.

If you have already registered as an individual participant and would like to create or join a team instead, email us at workout@bccancer.bc.ca.

How to Start a Team

This is a terrific opportunity for companies, fitness centres or community members (including your friends and family!) to get involved.  

Form a corporate or community team today.

  1. Assign a team captain. This individual will be the first team member to register, by selecting the option to create a team at the start of registration.

  2. The team captain will create a profile and complete the subsequent steps for registration, including setting a team name and goal. 

  3. Share your team's fundraiser page with others. Be sure to personalize this page — it's a great space to connect with your supporters, by adding customized images and messaging about your team and reason for participating.

Note: If you'd like to have more than one team captain, let us know at workout@bccancer.bc.ca after you've created your team and we'd be happy to help.
