UCM Walkathon and BBQ

Welcome to our walkathon fundraiser page. This event is family friendly and everyone is welcome. Confederation Park is stroller, wagon and wheelchair accessible with lots of areas to explore. From the creek, to climbing trees and a wonderful playground, everyone young and old will have a wonderful time.

This year there will be lots of activities for the children like face painting, bubbles, a scavenger hunt, lawn games, and goodie bags.

The BBQ will consist of hot dogs and buns, chips, veggies and fruit and cookies. It will cost $5/person.

Please check out the directions below. Don’t put Confederation Park in your maps because it will take you to a different park entrance.

Sponsorship Form

 FAQs

  • UCM is a unique charity because we send 100% of the sponsorship money to Liberia and 0% is used for the operating costs here in Canada. So each year we need to raise the amount needed to cover ALL the charities expenses.

  • UCM needs to raise at least $17,000 for all the charities operating costs in 2024.

  • Everyone is welcome to be involved in the walkathon and raising the funds needed. Talk to your family and friends and get them to donate to your walk. Any donation $20 and over will receive a tax receipt in January 2024.
