By braving the cold this February you'll be warming the hearts of thousands of Canadians affected by heart disease and stroke. Last year, over $6 million was raised thanks to the door-to-door fundraising efforts of people just like you.
Volunteering just 3 hours of your time to meet with friends and neighbours this February will have a huge impact on thousands of Canadians. As the face of the Heart and Stroke Foundation, you'll go door-to-door and visit approximately 20-25 houses on a specific route in your own area to:
- Ask for funds to support life-saving Heart and Stroke Foundation research
- Raise awareness by handing out Heart Month brochures
- Thank neighbours for supporting the Heart and Stroke Foundation
Captains are at the heart of our success! You'll help to run the Heart Month Campaign, acting as a point person for Canvassers in your area. It's an important role that the Heart and Stroke Foundation greatly appreciates. With the assistance of a Zone Leader or Heart and Stroke Staff, you will:
- Organize a strong team of Canvassers
- Deliver and collect kits
- Thank canvassers for their efforts
Becoming a Zone Leader has many rewards. You'll have a chance to meet new and inspiring people, utilize your organizational skills, develop new skills, but most of all you'll be an important part of the Heart Month Campaign. As a Zone Leader you will work with the Heart and Stroke Foundation to:
- Establish a strong team of approximately 10 Captains
- Liaise with Captains to ensure they and their respective Canvassers have all the materials they need - when they need them - to ensure a successful campaign
- Thank Captains for their efforts
