Calgary Walk in Her Shoes Challenge
Posted on Feb 22, 2017
On behalf of our CARE Canada and our group of dedicated Okanagan volunteers, we are happy to invite you to be part of the 4th annual Walk In Her Shoes event taking place as an engaging, empowering and fun day at the Calgary Zoo on Sunday March 5.
Each registration of $25 includes entry for 2 adults and 2 children to the Calgary Zoo for the day (can’t get a better deal than that!)
As you may be aware, CARE Canada has a long standing partnership with Rotary – we actually started out of the Rotary Club of Toronto.
Walk In Her Shoes is a fundraiser and an opportunity to raise awareness that in developing countries women and girls walk 10,000 steps a day to procure the basic necessities of life. Food, water and firewood. All monies raised will go towards our Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies project in Zambia – with every dollar raised being matched at a rate of $10:1 by the government of Canada.

CARE is a global leader within a worldwide movement dedicated to ending poverty. CARE'S seven decades of experience makes clear that when you empower a girl or a woman, she becomes a catalyst for positive change whose success benefits everyone around her. The funds you raise when you participate in the Walk in Her Shoes challenge will help reduce the distance women and girls have to walk by providing clean water and nutritious food close to home so that they can spend more time in school, earn an income and help their community to overcome poverty.
Local volunteers are organizing the Calgary "Walk In her Shoes" Challenge on March 5, 2017 in to promote awareness and raise funds. This event is also happening in Vancouver and Kelowna on the same day. An event is also taking place on International Women's day in Ottawa.
I encourage to sign up for this great event and look forward to seeing you, your friends, family and Rotary colleagues at this amazing event.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and I look forward to having you as part of this inspiring and empowering event on March 5.
