GET INVOLVED.

PARTICIPATE IN AN EVENT.

Taking part in a GIVETOLIVE event is more than just completing an incredible challenge. When you join GIVETOLIVE, you’re joining a group of people committed to bettering the world; people who recognize that individual ripples can make a wave of change.

SEE BEAUTIFUL SIGHTS, CHALLENGE YOURSELF, MAKE LASTING FRIENDSHIPS,

AND RAISE FUNDS FOR WORTHY CAUSES.

SUPPORT A PARTICIPANT.

Our event participants work very hard to fundraise for the great organizations that we support with The BIG CHILL, The BIG RIDE, and The BIG SWIM.

The BIG CHILL helps support youth-at-risk in Annapolis County. The BIG RIDE supports local cancer research trainees being trained at the Beatrice Hunter Cancer Research Institute. These trainees care deeply about cancer research and will become the health problem-solvers of tomorrow. Proceeds from The BIG SWIM will help send very special campers to Brigadoon Village

BECOME A VOLUNTEER.

GIVETOLIVE wouldn’t exist without volunteers, our BIG HELPERS. This is one of the most important ways you can help.  We are always looking for people to help tell our story and support our events. If you have time and talents to contribute, please send us a message below.

Thank you for your interest in GIVETOLIVE.
We will be in touch!

IT’S YOUR TIME, GIVE TODAY

AND PAY IT FORWARD.

BECOME A  SPONSOR.

We are a shoestring-type organization and strive to donate as much as possible directly to the causes we support. This said, we do have expenses related to creating and managing events and to keep our organization running.

If you would like to help us financially, we would be very appreciative. You can make any sized donation by simply sending an e-transfer to operations@givetolive.ca and include “GIVETOLIVE donation” in the message or send a cheque made out to “GIVETOLIVE” to:

 

GIVETOLIVE
1521 Grafton Street, Suite 203
Halifax, NS  B3J 2B9

Sponsors receive exposure at all three of our marquee events and throughout a full year of GIVETOLIVE communications, social media campaigns, and other efforts. Our BIG events would never happen without support from our sponsors. If you would like to join us, download the complete sponsorship package below.
