No! Snow Angel Challenge is a safe, socially distant event to raise funds and awareness to keep kids warm in our community.

You can make snow angels in your own back yard or front yard, the schoolyard, the park, the ski hill or your favourite nature trail.

You can raise awareness and funds for snowsuits from the comfort and safety of your home using our online fundraising tools to gather pledges to win prizes.

REGISTRATION IS FREE.

Businesses that register with $100 minimum donation receive special recognition and benefits associated with the “Workplaces” division.  See the Workplaces page for complete details.

All donations made support The Snowsuit Fund’s main mission to purchase and distribute snowsuits to qualified low-income families with children 0-15 years of age living in Ottawa.  Every $50 raised will keep one Ottawa child warm.

In the name of making sure every Ottawa child is dressed appropriately to play outdoors, registered individuals and teams who choose to gather donations qualify for fundraising rewards.  Everyone who registers and raises a minimum of $20 will receive a limited edition Snowsuit Fund toque.  Additional prizes for high achieving fundraisers – individuals and teams – include pizzas,  shopping sprees, gift cards and other experiences courtesy of our generous roster of sponsors Canadian Tire, Giant Tiger, Great Canadian Dollar Store and Gabriel Pizza with more to be announced. See the Prizes section above for up to date prize details.

Fundraising for Snow Angel Challenge is optional, but encouraged!

By fundraising, you are collecting donations that fund the purchase of snowsuits for children from low-income Ottawa families so they can play outside without their parents having to sacrifice other priorities.

All registered individual participants qualify for fundraising rewards. This is The Snowsuit Fund’s way to say Thank You for sharing your warmth with a child.

Registered team members also qualify for individual rewards.

Every registered participant who raises a minimum of $20 will receive a limited edition SSF toque. Toques are available in 5 colours. However, quantities per colour are limited and we promise best efforts only to match your colour choice.

Registered participants who raise a minimum of $150 are automatically entered into a draw for additional prizes and will also receive an additional ballot for every incremental $50 raised.

Registered teams qualify for team prizes in one division only.

Team prizes will be awarded to the registered team captain who will be responsible for distribution to the team members.

All registered schools are automatically entered into the Schools prize draw. No fundraising is required.

One prize will be awarded to the highest fundraising non-workplace team

One prize (Team Experience Package) will be awarded to the highest fundraising workplace team.

One prize will be awarded to the highest fundraising individual and this participant is also eligible to win draw prizes.

All funds raised will be put towards the purchase of new snowsuits.  Any overages in fundraising will be directed towards the purchase of snowsuits for next winter.
