The Pathstone Foundation is launching a new fundraiser today in honour of Giving Tuesday.

It would like members of the public to donate $5 online here, do any activity for five minutes and challenge five of their friends to do the same.

Anyone can participate, but the activities must be safe and comply with social distancing.

All of the proceeds raised from the 5 Five 5 Challenge will benefit Pathstone’s walk-in clinics and the 24/7 crisis support line.

Pathstone officials are estimating a loss of more than $200,000 in the coming months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
