There are over 60,000 family caregivers in the Greater Victoria area who provide care for an adult family member or friend who is chronically ill, frail, elderly or has a disability. We currently reach 19,100. Our goal is to simply reach more family caregivers. Your contribution will help us fulfill this goal.

We invite you to jump into our Dare to Care campaign with both feet. In the spirit of playfulness and pure fun, we offer the chance to act on a dare or dare someone else. Pick a dare, pick a target fundraising amount, and invite your family, friends and colleagues to donate in support of your dare.

What would you dare to do? What would others pay to see you do? Keep it fun, keep it safe and keep it legal. It’s just that easy.

Check out some dare ideas...

C’mon. Jump in and care to dare. Start here: www.daretocare.kintera.org
