From left, director of events Kyla Arsenault, promotions director Trish Plunkett, organizer Violet Hayes, Parksville Coun. Mary Beil (the top fundraiser last year, raising more than $4,000), corporate and charity relations co-ordinator Jen Taylor and location director Patricia Anderson. The registration fee is $25, payable during online registration or on event day. During registration, walkers can waive the $25 registration fee and commit to fundraise a minimum of $150 (for adults 18+) or $75 (for youth 13-17). Organizers encourage all walkers to fundraise. Walkers aged 12 or younger are not charged the $25 registration fee to participate (but must either pay the fee or raise $75 to receive a toque).
