Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if it snows?
The Walk A Mile In Her Shoes event will take place rain or shine. We suggest that you come prepared for inclement weather.
Where do I get the shoes?
We have a wide selection of shoes available with the conversion from female sizing to male. After you check-in at the event you will be prompted to select a pair of shoes to suit your personality.
What if I have cash or cheque donations?
Cash or cheque donations are considered "Offline Donations".
Offline donors must complete the offline donation form in order to receive a tax receipt. The form must be complete and legible.
Registered participants, enter your cash and/or cheque donations through your dashboard so that these offline donations are reflected online in your total raised.
Please send your completed offline donation forms with the cash or cheque donations to the YWCA or bring them to the event. DO NOT MAIL CASH
