  • I am having difficulties with registering or donating online, what can I do?
    Some of the reasons we've seen when there have been issues donating/registering were caused by one of the issues below: Cached data or cookies in the browser: we suggest that the donor clear caches data and cookies from their browser history. Instructions for: Chrome , Safari, Microsoft Edge An incompatible browser, usually due to being out of date: you can try using another browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.) or device entirely as well as updating the browser. Payment declined: if your card has been declined, CanadaHelps will often prompt the user with an error code and they will be able to pull up some more information into their failed transaction. You can contact CanadaHelps at info@canadahelps.org or (877) 755-1595. If you no longer want to proceed with an online donation, you may donate via cash or cheque. Please fill out the Offline Registration Form, and return the form with payment to Wing Kei by mail or in-person. If you have any further questions or concerns, you can contact the Events team at events@wingkei.org or (403) 277-7433
  • Will I or my sponsors receive a tax receipt?
    Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $25 or more. Online Donations: You will have received a tax receipt to your email and can also access it by logging into your CanadaHelps account. Offline Donations: We will be issuing tax receipts in August for any cash or cheque donations. Please contact us at events@wingkei.org for any questions.
  • What if the person I'm donating to does not have an online participant page?
    If the person you're sponsoring would like all pledges to count towards our prize draws but does not have an online profile, please include their name in the "Add a Message of Support" field for our records. For example:I'm donating this on behalf of Jane Doe! Go Wing Kei! If this is not their preference, you can donate to the general Walk and no attribution is required.
  • What should I do with the money I have collected?
    We encourage all donations be made online. If you have collected any physical payments, please complete the details on our Offline Pledge Form and mail them to Wing Kei Care Centre (1212 Centre Street NE, Calgary, AB T2E 2R4) by June 30th, 2024.
  • Is my personal information secure?
    All our online donations are processed through Canadahelps. CanadaHelps protects your information with the highest-level PCI-compliance, including ‘Transport Layer Security’ when using the donation form.
