How to participate

The Challenge

Once you’ve registered, it’s time to start fundraising! Gather donations from friends, family and co-workers by letting them know what supporting mental health means to you.

Then, from May 26 to 30, 2025 , join us by rising with the sun — or whatever time you wake up — for five days and share a photo or video of your Sunrise Moment to social media tagged with the hashtag #CAMHSunriseChallenge.

Your Sunrise Challenge Moment is to share a photo of how you start your day, ideally by waking up with the sun, showing that you've started your morning with intention and prioritized your mental health. Make it personal!

We'll also share daily challenges to inspire and guide your Sunrise Challenge journey.
