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 and wake up at sunrise every morning and share a photo or video of your Sunrise Moment to social media with #CAMHSunriseChallenge. Your Sunrise Moment can be the sunrise from that morning, or anything that shows your followers you completed the challenge that day like a cup of coffee, alarm clock or yoga mat. Get creative!
