Before we begin…
Whether this is your first time or sixteenth year participating in the Leucan Ultramarathon, here are a few reminders on how to collect donations.
How can I collect donations for the event?
Online, via your fundraising page (recommended): After completing your registration, a secure fundraising web page will be automatically created. You will receive a link by email that you can customize and share. Donors will receive a tax receipt by email automatically, so you don’t have to fill out a donation form.
Cash or cheque: Although we recommend online donations, cash and cheques are also accepted. Remember not to make an online donation in your name for these amounts to avoid any legal issues. A tax receipt will be issued for all donations of $20 or more or upon request.
What should I do with cash or cheque donations?
The collection form is required for cash or cheque donations. It identifies donors and their contact information in order to provide them with a tax receipt.
Here are the ways to give your donations:
By mail: 475 Talbot Blvd., Chicoutimi, QC, G7H 4A3
By making an appointment at the Leucan office in Chicoutimi with Lorie-Anne:
Email: lorie-anne.lapointe@leucan.qc.ca
Phone: 418-602-3385 ext. 9202
How does the tax receipt work?
Donations made online automatically entitle donors to a tax receipt, which donors will receive by email.
For cash or cheque donations, a tax receipt will be issued for any donation of $20 or more, if the collection form is correctly completed. If the donor receives an asset in return, the receipt will be adjusted accordingly.
How are donations collected?
Donations made online are transferred directly to Leucan.
For cash or cheque donations, tally up the total and fill out the fundraising form. Be sure to include the following information:
- Your full name
- Your team name
- The activity you are participating : Leucan Ultramarathon
- All cheques must be made payable to LEUCAN.

Tips, tricks and best practices
The Leucan team will support you throughout your fundraiser. Here are some tips to get you started!
Learn more about Leucan and its mission
Get to know the Association and its services in order to clearly explain to your donors the impact of their contributions. Leucan’s mission is based on five pillars:
- Fighting the disease and improving treatments
- Comforting, informing, guiding
- Reducing physical and psychological suffering
- Break isolation and contribute to well-being
- Helping financially
Prioritize online collection
While it is possible to collect donations in cash or by cheque, online collection makes it easier to manage tax receipts and avoid the risks associated with cash. In addition, this method allows for transparent tracking of contributions, thus strengthening donors’ confidence in the Association to keep them informed of the use of funds.
Online platforms also offer customization options, allowing donors to add messages, which promotes stronger engagement. Finally, online collection helps reduce environmental impact by reducing the use of paper for checks and receipts, while allowing donations to be processed quickly and efficiently.
Customize your fundraising page
Add photos and text to explain your motivations. This will make your page more personal and encourage your donors to contribute.
Talk to your friends and family about your involvement
Whether in person or on social media, share your participation with your loved ones and explain why you support Leucan.
