The Cause
Get Up There is a public awareness movement, fundraiser and event to raise the awareness in Nova Scotia about Colorectal Cancer. The mission is to raise the awareness for the prevention and reduce the stigma associated with the colorectal screening.
This year, we will again be partnering with the Canadian Cancer Society to allocate the funds raised to where they can directly help early screening efforts in Nova Scotia.
How much money do I have to raise and how do I raise money?
There is no minimum amount, although we are encouraging each climber to raise at least $200. Tax receipts will be issued to all individuals who donate at least $25. You can get the money directly and record on your pledge sheet, direct people to the site where they can donate online, or you can have people billed for their pledge.
Do I have to bring my own equipment?
Each team is responsible for bringing their own equipment to the event. Rentals are also available for those interested:
- Snowshoes are available for rent or purchase at The Trail Shop and can also be purchased at a discount of 10% off.
- Skis & Snowboards are available for rent at Wentworth.
What is included on the day of the event?
- A ski pass to Wentworth will be provided to all participants who raise a minimum of $200.
- Food will not be provided, but is available at the Wentworth Lodge.
