COMMUNITY VETERINARY OUTREACH HOSTS ANNUAL CROSS-CANADA COMMUNITY CHALLENGE EVENT
The 4th Annual Fundraiser is Set to Begin October 1st, 2026!
Canada
Community Veterinary Outreach (CVO) is excited to announce the launch of the Cross-Canada Community Challenge, a nationwide fundraiser running from October 1st to 31st, 2025. This event invites individuals and teams from across the country to track their kilometres and raise essential funds to support CVO's mission of providing integrated veterinary and human healthcare services to vulnerably housed people and their pets.
Participants in the Cross-Canada Community Challenge will have the opportunity to contribute to a great cause that transforms lives, one paw and one hand at a time. Whether you choose to walk, run, cycle, or engage in any form of physical activity, every kilometre tracked will help bring attention and resources to the vital work CVO does in communities across North America.
How to Participate:
Register: Sign up as an individual or create a team by visiting https://www.vetoutreach.org/cccc-2026
Track Your Kilometres: Use your preferred fitness app or device to log your activity throughout the month of October
Fundraise: Share your progress and encourage friends, family, and colleagues to donate
Funds raised during this challenge will directly support CVO's One Health clinics, which provide pro-bono veterinary care alongside human healthcare services. These clinics operate in 11 locations across North America, offering essential care to pets and people who might otherwise go without.
