2025 WALK for the BEST

JOIN US! 

 

Our annual “Walk for the Best” walkathon is a vital fundraiser for The Charles H. Best Diabetes Centre that brings our patient and family community together to support our programs. We are excited to gather again at Heydenshore Kiwanis Park in Whitby on Saturday, September 13th. This walk is a beloved Best Centre community event, thanks to our supporters who put a lot of work into volunteering, fundraising and participating!

To attend the WALK for the Best, please complete all steps below.  You must complete step 1 to be registered.  Creating a fundraising page does not register you to attend.  Registration includes a WALK for the BEST t-shirt.  Early bird registration fee is $20 (ends August 16th) or regular fee is $25 (after August 16th).
