QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR REGISTRATION/PARTICIPATION
Choose your mountain here and register in the category of your choice.
If you register online, you will receive an email confirmation. Your personal page will automatically be created. You will then be able to invite your friends, family and colleagues to make an online donation on your profile page. You will also have access to donation forms, allowing you to raise money in person and your donors to receive tax receipts.
No. You can create a team in which other members may register later, or you can join an incomplete team without a problem.
Yes. To complete the registration, all participants must pay the requisite fees.
This step will appear in the online registration form. If you are registering via our paper form or over the phone, you must provide your credit card information or send a cheque or money order to Leucan to pay the registration fees and thus confirm your registration.
This registration fee was implemented to encourage participants to complete their Challenge and to cover the expenses incurred by Leucan caused by an increase in operating costs.
It is a way for Leucan to consolidate participants’ engagement while absorbing some of the logistics and operating costs of the event.
This amount must be submitted at the start of the event if the payment is made in cash or by cheque, whether registration is done online, in person the day of the event or prior to the event, paid in cash using the paper registration form.
Online registration for a challenge will close a few days before the event. Some mountains have a maximum capacity and may need to close registration earlier if the limit is reached.
Inform Leucan immediately as well as your team members so that they may find a replacement. You must return all your fundraising forms to Leucan along with all collected donations. However, no substitute participants will be accepted after the start on the day of the activity.
QUESTIONS ABOUT DONATIONS AND DONATIONS FORMS
Yes, each team and participant must raise a minimum amount of $200 for the solo category, $600 for the participatory category, and $2,600 for the corporate category before their challenge in March 2025.
They allow you to keep track of all your donors/donations. As well, they allow Leucan to issue tax receipts to donors. Only donors whose information is duly completed will receive tax receipts. If you receive online donations, you don’t have to add them to your donation form.
In order to facilitate and accelerate the process, you can count and roll the small change, deposit it in your personal account and write a cheque in your name payable to Leucan. In addition, you can register pledges on your profile page and if you received the money for these pledges, you have the option of paying them with your credit card, so that these donations appear on your thermometer. This way, you have less money to handle the day of the event.
Yes, it is important to return all completed donation forms so that Leucan may issue income tax receipts to donors.
All donations must be handed in upon registration on the day of the Challenge.
Cash and cheques donations received after the Leucan Ski Challenge have to be handed in to Leucan in person or forwarded by mail to your regional office. For security measures, if you send us donations by mail, replace the cash with a personal cheque equal to the amount you received.
To the order of Leucan (or a regional office: Leucan Montérégie, Leucan Québec, etc.).
Donors will receive their tax receipts starting from April. For all online donations, tax receipts are issued immediately to their e-mail, once the payment is confirmed.
The funds raised will be used to allow generous contributions to clinical research, which further increases the chances of recovery, and to provide the many services offered to cancer-stricken children and their families: emotional assistance and support, financial assistance, referral services, massage therapy, hosting and support in hospitals’ playrooms, socio-recreational activities, an awareness program in schools, end-of-life and bereavement follow-up.
