Donate to the Hike for Hope between now and October 4th, and Barry is going to match your donation!

That’s Barry with Jane there.

He just told us that he’ll match every donation that you make to the Jane Goodall Hike for Hope between now and October 4th, up to $10,000.

Jane once told him that “there’s so much magic and mystery in the universe,” and he has held the memory of that moment close ever since.

And now, after weeks of wildfires burning across the country, he feels the urgency of the current moment – and he wants to do all that he can to help.

He wants to make sure rescued chimpanzees can get the care they need, young leaders across Canada can implement the projects they have designed, and community members can take part in critical conservation projects.

The Jane Goodall Hike for Hope supports work like this, and that’s why Barry has decided to match every donation, up to $10,000.

What does this mean for you?

When someone donates to your hike between now and October 4th, Barry is going to match them. This means that the $20 they donated becomes $40, or the $30 you donated to your own hike becomes $60.

Your hike can have double the impact! Don’t miss out on this generous matching gift from Barry Shainbaum. To sign up, or to share your hike with your loved ones, go to HikeForHope.ca.
