Chancellor’s Challenge 2025 on track for a record year
September 16, 2025
The Chancellor’s Challenge has united our community and raised nearly $500,000 in support of Ontario Tech students. Now, for our fifth-annual event on Saturday, September 20, we are aiming higher than ever!
We’ve already raised $131,404, surpassing last year’s total of $125,000, and have 324 participants registered. With your support, we can break records for both fundraising and participation and make this the most impactful Chancellor’s Challenge yet.
This fun, on-campus event provides you with the opportunity to team up with your work colleagues and proudly engage your families and community in our university, all while supporting students. Imagine if 200 more participants signed up now and raised $250 each; that would be another $50,000 for students!
Why it matters
- Impact: Every step and every dollar helps students succeed.
- Community: Walk, run or roll with colleagues, alumni, students and families in a celebration of Ontario Tech and our students.
- Engagement: Enjoy live entertainment, food, physical movement and camaraderie.
Let’s cross the finish line together
- Register today as an individual or team (check with your Dean or unit lead for your team name).
- Fundraise by sharing your story and rallying support, using the system’s easy fundraising capabilities.
