How it Works
1. Pledge a certain amount for the distance walked on August 13th when sponsoring a walker! “I pledge $____ per 0.5km walked by ______.” The money will be paid to SUSK who will make a donate to Unite with Ukraine on my behalf.
2. Ensure that you (the walker and sponsor) are registered on the Strava app to track your distance. This is the only way SUSK is able to track the distance walked. The link to the group can be found in each registration package. If you are external from SWS, a link will be sent once you have registered as walker.
3. Wear blue and yellow to show your Ukrainian pride!
4. Send the Sponsor Form to friends and family who are supporting this initiative. CLICK HERE
5. Provide your supporters with your total distanced walked so that they can make a donation!

I am a walker and a fundraiser because Ukrainians don’t walk away from a crisis, we run to it and solve it. Together we must walk together to do all we can to ensure Ukraine’s glory and sovereignty.
Walking to raise money for our brave defenders of Ukraine! We can all do things to help Ukraine and events like this are one of them!
I am looking forward to being a fundraiser for Ukraine through the Ukrainian World Congress’ campaign Unite with Ukraine. This is an excellent opportunity to get active, meet new friends, and fundraise for a very important cause.
