Event Format & Dates

After a three year pause, the Hip Hip Hooray! Fundraising event has returned in a new and exciting format. The former format of a traditional walk-a-thon has been revamped to ensure more of your dollars raised go towards creating resources and patient support. This new format significantly reduces overhead.

This year, Participants will be counting their steps to raise money. This enables the Foundation to focus less time on administration of the event and more time on how funds raised will help thousands of Canadians suffering from orthopaedic conditions. Once you register and place an initial donation, a pedometer will be sent to you to help you measure your progress.

With an initial donation of at least $25, pedometers will be provided at no cost to Participants. Quantities are limited and will be available to the first 1,500 Participants.

This is an opportunity for you to celebrate mobility and to give back to others. Please join us as an individual or as a team.

Date:

September 21 – 25, 2011
The event will take place over a number of days. The event takes place over five days, making your distance goal realistic and achievable.

Format:
