It all starts with a snazzy personalized fundraising page to share your journey with your friends, family, and supporters. Add a bio, headshot, and why you're supporting Sweatin' For Science. Set A Fundraising Goal The easiest thing to do is set a realistic fundraising goal to start with so you feel comfortable and excited about working towards it.  The great news is we can increase your fundraising goal as you get close to hitting your target. There is an option to opt-out of fundraising, although we're sure you know someone who'd love to support you on your fitness journey. Next, let's set the stage! Turn that $0 into a positive number towards your goal by donating to yourself. Your supporters will get all sorts of warm fuzzies inside and feel compelled to follow suit! Donate today! Speaking of supporters, be sure to message your friends, families, co-workers, church groups, etc with a link to your fundraising page. They may even want to join you!

Lastly, don't forget to post your upcoming participation on your favourite social media channels. TikTok video, anyone? #letsgoviral  For every $100 you raise, you will receive an additional entry in our grand prize draw.

Why Are We Sweatin' For Science?

Not all youth in our region have access to the same resources in their homes, schools, or communities to be able to pursue science, technology, or innovation interests. Let's give the next Roberta Bondar's, David Suzuki's, Irene Uchida's, and Alexander Graham Bell's the opportunity to realize their potential by breaking down barriers. We sweat for science for the sustainability and growth of:

- Science Fair Programs in thirteen (13) regions across BC+Yukon - Education Programs opportunities in our region that nurture, inspire and elevate youth. - Financial Aid opportunities for youth to develop their ideas and/or attend events outside of their home communities. - Give Mentorship Program access to youth so they may better understand their projects, and find guidance on their path.
