The Door-tof it Door-to-Door Campaign
The Door-to-Door Campaign is in North America, and helps us raise awareness of March of Dimes Canada programs in communities across Canada. Since 1951, the March of Dimes Door-to-Door Campaign has helped raise money to support individuals with physical disabilities. Every January, in honour of our founding Marching Mothers, volunteers walk through their neighbourhoods, knocking on doors to raise money in support of March of Dimes.
Your support allows us to offer opportunities for independence to the over 55,000 Canadians with disabilities that we serve. With your help, we are able to offer a variety of donor-funded programs to Canadians with disabilities, including Conductive Education®, attendant services, employment training, recreational and social opportunities, funding for vital home safety equipment, vehicle modification, and support for polio and stroke survivors, people living with acquired brain injuries, their loved ones, and caregivers.
In addition, we have our Online Campaign, found at www.mymod.ca/doortodoor, that lets people canvass family and friends in support of March of Dimes Canada from the comfort of their own home.
Please consider joining our online family!
If you are interested in canvassing your neighbours or for more information about the Door-to-Door campaign, please email door2door@marchofdimes.ca or call 1-800-263-3463 ext. 7705.

This one day event brings together neighbours, families, athletes, hockey fans, local business owners and from all parts of the city to have fun while raising money for worthy causes. March of Dimes Canada is again honoured to be the recipient of funds raised from these events.
