Join the Stroll & Dash Volunteer Crew!

Volunteers are at the heart of our Stroll & Dash event and there are lots of ways to be involved. Each year over 200 dedicated volunteers commit their time and effort to make the Stroll & Dash event a success.

In order to ensure that our patients, staff, participants, and volunteers remain safe, this year’s Stroll & Dash will take place outdoors, in Town of Mount-Royal's beautiful Danyluk Park. Stroll & Dash is the signature event for Sarah’s Fund for Cedars that raises critical funds for the needs of young cancer patients who are hospitalized on Sarah’s Floor.

Without the efforts of our amazing volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to accomplish what we do. Your involvement helps us reach our goal and support vital programs and services to improve the lives of all young cancer patients and their families on Sarah’s Floor at the Montreal Children's Hospital.

Sign up today to help make this year's Stroll & Dash Challenge the best ever!
