Throughout the month of May, we are asking you to move with purpose, to Step It Up for our focus charity, KidsCan. When setting personal step goals, we encourage you to align these with your fundraising goals. The more you challenge yourself to step, the more your networks may be prepared to donate. The more that your networks donate, the greater the impact you will have on the children supported by KidsCan.

Using a step challenge encourages and incorporates a wellbeing and teaming aspect for EY people, reminding us to move throughout the day.

EY will match all donations from EY New Zealand people and to help entice your family and friends to support you, their donations via the Step It Up event page will be also be matched, with total EY matching of up to $10,000.

There are also some great prizes on offer. Check them out here - https://www.yammer.com/ey.com/#/files/1296503087104

Sign up as an individual or team

We encourage you to join as an EY team (of up to 8) and walk together (virtually or in person) to raise money for KidsCan.
