Fundraising
How do I start fundraising?
Start by logging into your personal fundraising page here, or by clicking the link in your confirmation email. You can personalize the page by uploading your photo and providing a description of why you’re running—we've provided a sample description to make it easy for you. After your page is set up, share it on your social media channels and spread the word to family and friends.
What is my personal fundraising page?
It’s the place where friends and family can donate to you online. It’s up to you to personalize it by adding images and messages to show everyone why you’re participating, and why they should support you. Contact us at race@bcchf.ca if you need help accessing your personal fundraising page.
How can people find my personal fundraising page?
After you register or log into your personal fundraising page, you’ll see your personal fundraising page link at the top of your dashboard. You can copy that link and send it to your supporters.
Friends or family can also visit the RBC Race for the Kids homepage and select the “Support a runner ” button. They can then search for your name, or your team's name, and find your personal or team fundraising page.
If your page is not visible to others this may mean you have not activated your account.

How do I submit offline donations?
You can enter offline donations from your friends and family right in your own dashboard.
You will input donor details for each donation you have received offline and make the donation via your own credit card and keep the cash. If you prefer, you can also mail in your offline donations form (please note that it may take up to 3 weeks for those donations to be added to your fundraising page).
What if I registered as a $50 fundraiser but I end up missing that goal?
How are fundraising rewards calculated?
Are there rewards for fundraising?
- $150 Raised: Entry to win a sports fan package
- $250 Raised: Official RBC Race for the Kids race kit bag
- $500 Raised: Fundraising Cape
- $1,000 Raised: Donations matched** and Fundraising Cape
COMMUNITY RUNNERS: Reward levels met by May 21 will be mailed out in race packages. Rewards met after May 21 will arrive after June 19.
ONSITE RUNNERS: Capes will be available for pick up on the morning of the race.
**Matching gifts will be matched until June 8. If you raise $1,000 your funds will be matched. This means the money you raise has double the impact for the hospital and the kids of BC.
How do I access my managed accounts?
-
- By clicking “My Runners” in the navigation on your fundraising dashboard

My account says “Not yet active”. What does this mean?

The email will have the subject line "You’ve been registered for RBC Race for the Kids". Please check your email (both inbox and spam folder) for this invitation and click the link to complete your account.

Yes, you can add new runners through your fundraising dashboard when logged in. You can add new runners as managed accounts under your account login, or you can register others with their own unique email. If you register someone with their email, please remind them to follow the steps in the email they receive to activate their account.

Do all donors get a charitable tax receipt?
Cash or cheque pledges with email addresses: All donations of $20 or more with a valid email address will be sent a charitable tax receipt via email after the event.
Cash or cheque pledges without email: Cash or cheque donations of $20 or more with a valid legible donor name and mailing address will be sent a charitable tax receipt through the mail after the event.
Please note: Registration fees are not eligible for tax receipts. The fees are used to offset the costs associated with your race day items and for putting on the event, ensuring that the maximum amount of fundraising goes towards supporting BC Children’s Hospital.
What if I want a refund?
There will be a $5 non-refundable fee when you select the Fundraise $50 option. This fee will confirm your spot at the race and assists with covering the cost of the event.
