This year we’re pleased to recognize three outstanding fundraisers who have raised over $500 in a week! With one week left, they let us in on their tips for supercharging their efforts

Abby Yew – Rookie Activator

First time climber and lover of anything furry, Abby Yew’s fundraising efforts have paid off! By adding her own note to her fundraising page and emails, Abby connected with her friends and gave them a personal reason to give. Thanks to her wonderful, compassionate and generous group of friends and family, Abby was able to raise over $500 in a week and is now nearing in on $1,000!
Says Abby: “I am an advocate of non-profit organizations that fulfill a need that is created because of human overconsumption. I want to ensure that I leave a positive footprint!”

Avneet Moondi – Passionate Competitor

This will be Avneet’s second time up the tower. Her first climb left her with a great feeling of accomplishment that she’s looking forward to again this year. Being both passionate about the environment and highly competitive, Avneet started her fundraising journey by setting her goal high to inspire support. She then emailed her friends, family and colleagues and shared how important the cause is to her; “I’m a strong believer that every little bit helps and goes a long way and I like to be able to do my part”.

Janice Shewchuk – Veteran Endurance

This will be Janice’s fifth time climbing the tower. An avid snorkeler and diver, she likes marine life – like sea turtles, dolphins and whales. Janice is motivated to fundraise and climb by WWF-Canada’s efforts to protect and preserve vulnerable places, communities and spaces. Her secret to fundraising over $500 in one week? Just asking! “I am very fortunate to have very supportive friends, family members and co-workers.  I requested donations and was pleasantly surprised in their generosity.”
