email address (wpgcopwatch@gmail.com ) letting us know how
much you would like to pledge one of our volunteer runners,
along with your phone number so we can get a hold of you.

contribute, we will (more than) gladly accept mail-in donations

Copwatch does not receive any funding from the government or private funders, but from supportive community members, so this is a very important fundraising event for our organization. This year in particular, our 5th anniversary, when we are organizing an international conference (http://conference.winnipegcopwatch.org/ ), funds will not only go to our regular operating costs, but also to bring in fabulous keynote speakers, panelists, workshop presenters and will ensure that we put on the best conference about policing that we can.
If you would like to participate in the event, you are encouraged to do so in any way you feel comfortable, either 5KM or 10KM:
*Run
*Walk
*Wheel (skateboard, wheelchair, bike, scooter, rollerblade)
It's a fun, non-competitive event that is a great way to spend a Saturday morning! Everyone is welcome.
