Sweepstakes

Use our fun sweepstake sheets to get your friends and colleagues involved! There is a "steps" version which is great for treks and longer walking challenges, and a "time" version which you can use for any event type! Ask your supporters if they’d like to take a guess of your finishing time or number of steps for a suggested donation.
