Dare Campaign

What’s your Dare for AIDS in Africa?

Whatever you do to raise funds, your Dare will be an act of powerful solidarity with community-based projects that are turning the tide of AIDS in Africa. — Stephen Lewis

For the past two years, thousands of Canadians have joined the Foundation’s Dare Campaign. They’ve taken on personal challenges and raised funds for extraordinary grassroots organizations in Africa.

You can carry on the Dare tradition and do a dare – this week, this month, right now! Dare yourself to do whatever is challenging or exciting: give up coffee for a week, face your fear of public speaking, learn how to do yoga, organize your workplace to clean up the local park. Engage your friends and family to support the inspiring transformation taking place across the continent. Ask yourself: what would your friends and family pledge to see you do? Helder and his friends broke the Guinness World Record for the longest dodgeball game, and raised over $6,000. The Martin family gave up their car and raised $1,650. Brandy shaved her head and raised $4,000. And Kathlyn dared to dine and raised $215 in just one night.

This year you can turn your New Year’s resolution into a dare. Whether you resolve to quit smoking, start exercising or learn something new, January is the month to do it! Set yourself a challenge and make your resolution more meaningful by raising funds for communities at the frontlines of the pandemic. African communities have the resolve to turn the tide of AIDS, and you can dare to stand with them.
