WHAT IS IT? An EASY way to earn money!
Anyone can join the 5k walk and fundraise for their group
Raise money for your group by collecting pledges
for the Coquitlam Optimist Club. The sharing
benefit -‐ your group gets back 75% of the funds you
collected! How good is that??!!
We provide
the management, signage,
marked walk route around Mundy park and registration onsite as well as food post event. As a note, groups
can walk in their own city as long as you register
your group.
If you participate remotely/virtually from a distance, you can email your scanned
master pledge form -‐ not necessary
