Frequently asked questions

Can I sponsor an entire team?

No, you cannot sponsor an entire team. You can only sponsor individuals on a team.

How do I track my cash and cheque donations?

If you receive cheques or cash from your friends and family (i.e., offline donations), you will need to track this. You can do this in two ways:

  • Online by visiting your “Manage Cash & Cheque” page, entering the data and then printing the results form
  • Offline using a paper pledge form

This ensures that your sponsors who donate $20 or more will receive a tax receipt.

How do I submit my cash and cheque donations?

You can submit your cash and cheque donations in one of the following ways:

  • Hand in all your offline donations on the day of the race along with a results form
  • Deliver in person or mail in additional pledges above the minimum $60 to our office by Friday, July 8, 2011, located at:

    United Way Toronto
    Attn: Processing Dept.
    26 Wellington Street E, 2nd Floor
    Toronto, ON, M5E 1W9

Please write a cheque to cover the total amount of your cash pledges. Make it payable to “United Way Toronto.” Receipts will be issued for all donations of $20 or more. When mailing donations or submitting them on the day of the race, please issue one cheque to cover all donations. Cheques should be made payable to “United Way Toronto.”

*Remember: Offline (unverified) pledges will not change your status from “Pending” to “Registered.” “Verified Pledges” means that United Way Toronto has received the funds. This can only happen with online credit card donations. This offline donation-tracking tool is for your reference only and will not change your actual fundraising status. United Way Toronto cannot use this information, as it is not verified.

How do I qualify for incentive prizes?

  • To qualify for an incentive prize, you must raise and submit a minimum of $250 (both online and offline) in pledges no later than Friday, July 8, 2011 at 5 pm EST. Incentive prizes are awarded to individuals who have raised $250, $500, $1,000, $2,500 and $5,000-plus.
  • Prizes are based on individual fundraising—not team fundraising.
  • Incentive prizes must be picked up in person between 9 am and 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday, August 8 to 19, 2011, from the United Way Toronto offices at 26 Wellington St. E., 2nd Fl. We cannot mail out prizes. Prizes will not be handed out after the August 19, 2011 deadline.
  • The top and runner-up prizes will be awarded at the event. Winners will be determined based on total individual fundraising submitted to United Way Toronto by 5 pm, Wednesday, June 15.
  • Prizes are non-cumulative and United Way Toronto reserves the right to substitute prizes for equal or greater value. Check out our prize incentive page for details.
