OUR 8TH ANNUAL WALK IS
COMING TO YOU ON MAY 24, 2020

GET READY FOR
THE SASHBEAR WEB WALK

We will be moving forward with our 8th annual Walk in 3 weeks – with a digital twist. Given COVID-19’s impact, we are instead organizing an online celebration for all to join. The Sashbear Foundation will continue to support families and loved ones struggling with their mental health, especially in this difficult time.

HOW THE WEB WALK WORKS

We’ll share out a link to our webinar at a closer date.

Simply click and join the experience—no download necessary.

As a precaution, user access to microphones and webcams will be disabled.

Enjoy our celebration of hope.

THE WEB WALK AROUND THE WORLD

We invite you (everyone, not just walk participants) to film a short 6 second video of you walking across your screen! Wear orange and dance across your kitchen, do the worm with the kids, or simply wave hello! We will stitch every submission together to bring our 8th annual walk to life – online.

No matter where you are, we can all share the love!

Please send your video to submissions@sashbear.org 

DO THE #SASHBEARCHALLENGE

Get active anytime leading up to May 24 to raise money for Sashbear! Wear something orange, take a picture or video of an exercise or activity of your choice (get creative!), and share it with your sponsors. Use #SashbearChallenge to share it with everyone. We can still move together and get active at home despite physical distancing. Participants can register as an individual or create a team.

REGISTRATION is $25 FREE this year.

Funds raised will go to initiatives like the Family Connections™ Program. In 2019, Sashbear ran over 80 Family Connections™ groups, each providing a total of 24 hours of skills to participants. Overall, these groups reached 1,100 family members by teaching them the skills needed to reduce stress, increase empowerment and better support their loved ones on their mental health journey. This year, with COVID-19, Sashbear has shifted its focus to online skills delivery – “alone, at home, and together”. Sashbear continues to shine bright in the mental health community, spreading the message of skills and hope through conference engagements and research projects all over the world.

MEET PATRICK GODIN. FULL-TIME COPYWRITER. SASHBEAR DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS

Patrick and Sasha grew up together thanks to two very involved mothers who organized countless initiatives at their elementary school. Patrick is now an award-winning copywriter working at a digital advertising agency in Toronto. Outside of full-time (and over-time) hours, he is committed to bringing The Sashbear Walk to life in an uncharted time. The incredible Sashbear team keeps him inspired and he looks forward to making May 24, 2020 a memorable day for you.
