How to Help?

 
Surrey's 2010 Challenge for Children in many ways brings the 2010 Winter Games experience to our doorstep. There are many ways to help out and "be a part of it". The best way to help with the 2010 Challenge of course is to Make a Donation in support of the Right To Play. Any donations coming in through the City's 2010 Challenge program also contributes to a legacy program in Surrey's schools at the same time.

You can also help out by supporting a team fundraiser, or do your own thing in support of Right To Play whether individually or through a team, community group or through your workplace.

To get started Register with the Challenge to stay connected through to the 2010 Games.
