Join Team Morrison as we raise funds for our youth and families overcoming mental health and substance use challenges, while encouraging the wellness of our supporters. Momentum, a virtual step event, takes place wherever you want, any time during September 2020. Our goal is to inspire Team members to walk, run, or move, taking as many steps possible throughout the month, while encouraging their friends to join through peer-to-peer fundraising. With this personalized event, you choose the activity; each step or movement tracked helps raise funds for Morrison Child and Family Services. Walking, biking, swimming, yoga, dance parties, all you have to do is track it with a fitness app on your phone or step tracking device. Challenge yourself and track your personal fitness goals to support Morrison’s kids!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Our Virtual Races allow non-profits to challenge their patrons to run, walk or ride and raise funds just as they would in a fundraising walkathon. The best part - charities save over 45% in event and logistical costs. So, the dollars that you pay to register or fundraise, go farther.
What is the campaign registration fee?
Campaign registration fee is the amount that you'll need to pay to enroll in this virtual race. This fee (less transaction charges) will go to the non-profit running this campaign as a donation.
The registration fee along with the funds raised through your individual fundraising page will enable the non-profit to fund various programs and pursue their organization's mission.

I am an international donor (non-US), what are my donation charges and tax-deductibility?
All donations are made in US dollars, so the donations may be levied an exchange rate fee via your bank. Donors will want to connect with their bank to determine exactly what that fee may be. Additionally, international donors will need to reach out to a tax professional to discuss if and how tax deductibility will apply to their donation.
Who can sponsor my fundraising efforts?
The short answer is - everyone. The fundraising research shows that the number one reason for people not donating is that they weren't asked to.
That said, there are things you can do to attract people to sponsor you. Adding a picture to your fundraising page, telling potential donors why this cause is so personal to you, sharing your fundraising page on social media, email, and chat groups.
Last, if your employer has a gift matching program, check with the human resources department to support your favorite cause as well.
Who can I contact if I need help?
