Campaign Contest Rules & Regulations
CONTEST:
The following rules and regulations are applicable to the contest described hereafter (the “Contest”), which is being
conducted by Cystic Fibrosis Canada (“CFC”) in connection with CFC’s Walk to Make Cystic Fibrosis History (the
“Walk”). The Contest will consist of two types of draws: (i) monthly draws; and (ii) the Grand Prize draws. The
eligibility requirements and methods of entry differ for the monthly draws as compared to the grand prize draws.
Details related to each type of draw are described below.
The Contest period begins at 12:00:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (“EST”) on February 1, 2017, and ends at
11:59:59 p.m. (EST) on June 30, 2017 (the “Contest Period”).
ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for entry in a Contest draw, an individual must be a resident of Canada from the start of the “Contest
Period”. Eligible participants must also be over the age of majority in the province of their residence by the end of the
“Contest Period” or have the permission of a parent or guardian to accept the reward, if won.
Employees of CFC or the sponsors and prize partners of the Walk, employees of any affiliates of CFC or such
sponsors and prize partners, and the immediate family members of any such employees (father/mother,
brother/sister, son/daughter) or persons living under the same roof as any such employees are not eligible to win
prizes as a result of Contest draws.
Only Registered Walkers (as defined hereinafter) will be eligible for participation in the monthly draws.
HOW TO ENTER MONTHLY DRAWS
No purchase is required.
Entry Details:
To enter, you must be an individual who has registered to participate in the Walk (a “Registered Walker”), by
completing the online registration at www.cysticfibrosis.ca/walk prior to the Walk (which is scheduled to take place on
May 28, 2017). A registration shall not be considered complete unless, in the course of the registration process, the
Registered Walker has (i) provided a valid email address; and (ii) completed the provided waiver agreement.
During the Contest Period, when a Registered Walker achieves or surpasses (in online, verified funds) a fundraising
milestone (a “Fundraising Milestone”), as described below, prior to the end of a particular Contest Period month, the
name of the Registered Walker will be entered into a draw to win the monthly prize that corresponds to such
Fundraising Milestone. The Fundraising Milestones and the prizes related to each are as follows:
Fundraising Milestones1
Raise $25 - $99 in online verified funds to be entered to win a $20 coffee gift card
Raise $100 - $249 in online verified funds to be entered to win $50 in movie tickets
Raise $250 - $499 in online verified funds to be entered to win $100 in clothing gift cards

CFC shall have sole discretion to select the vendors from which CFC will procure Fundraising Milestone prizes. All such prizes will
be subject to the relevant vendor’s typical terms and conditions for such prize items.
Raise $500+ in online verified funds to be entered to win $250 in pre-paid credit cards.
At the end of each month of the Contest Period CFC will have draws to identify one prize winner for each of the four
Fundraising Milestone categories identified above. For the avoidance of doubt, a Registered Walker may achieve or
surpass up to four monthly Fundraising Milestones in each month from February to June. For example, a Registered
Walker who raises more than $500 in online verified funds during the month of March will have their name entered
into the draws carried out at the end of March for each of (i) the coffee card, (ii) the movie tickets, (iii) the clothing gift
cards, and (iv) the pre-paid credit cards.
Milestone draws will take place at the end of each month (February to June).

Monthly draws will take place on the first business day of the month that follows the Contest month during which draw
entries were accumulated by participants (i.e., the monthly draws for February’s monthly prizes will be held on the
first business day of March), subject to these Contest rules. The grand prize draws will take place in July.
You do not need to be present at any draw in order to win. Each prize will be awarded to the person named in the first
entry drawn for such prize, subject to these Contest rules, if the person named (i) correctly answers, without human,
mechanical, electronic or other assistance, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question to be administered by

question may, at CFC’s sole option, be answered by a parent or legal guardian of such person, without human,
mechanical, electronic or other assistance), and (ii) otherwise complies with these Contest rules.
The chance of being selected as the prize winner for any prize will depend on the number of eligible entries received
for such prize draw.

the selected entrant (and/or a parent/legal guardian if a minor) must sign and return (within 14 days of the date on

Release and Publicity Consent, in the form required by CFC. If a selected entrant does not comply with these contest
rules or cannot be contacted within 7 days of the draw, that entry will be declared void and a further entry will be
drawn at CFC’s discretion. If a selected entrant cannot use or chooses not to use any portion of the prize that the
entrant was won, that portion of the prize will be deemed to be forfeited and no substitution or other compensation will
be awarded. Each winner’s name, the fact that he/she is the winner of this contest, his/her city name, photo and/or
