Strides for Kids
Join DCAF in this virtual Exercise-A-Thon. You can participate from the comfort of your own home, neighbourhood, favourite nature walk or on a beautiful waterfront! Walk, Run, Swim or Cycle the equivalent distance of the Durham Region Waterfront of your choice. Each waterfront consists of different stride levels so you can reach your goals while supporting DCAF, raising funds for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Programs for Children and Youth!
In 2022, $4300 was raised to support D.E.I Programs. Our goal in 2023 is to raise $10,000 to support Children and Youth. This hybrid style event originated in May of 2021.
This year from May 19th – June 2nd you can participate individually with a fundraising goal of $250.00 or as a team of 4 with a fundraising goal of $800.00. Each participant can choose the Durham Region Waterfront they would like to reach their stride goals in. Register as an individual or team today.
