New Website Wish List

Uniqueness. Although we understand the benefit of templated website builders, we don’t want to look like every other boring nonprofit website out there. We are an organization run by bold, creative, empowered women making a difference, and our website should convey our organization’s unique personality.
Video. We love video and are very pleased with the brand video recently produced by a group of talented volunteers, and would like to make this and future video efforts central to our web presence.
E-commerce. We would love to incorporate a more sophisticated version of our "Courage Shop" (see existing website) as well as a way to host an online "silent auction" in conjunction with future fundraising events. However, we would need help finding a solution that is easy to administer and has a low transaction cost.
Forms. We would love to provide our clients the ability to apply to and/or register for our programs.


Volunteering with us

The volunteer website designer-builder can expect to work on this project in collaboration with our executive director, a volunteer marketing specialist, and other volunteers. We are tremendously grateful to the talented professionals who donate their time and expertise to our organization, and we are confident the right individual will find this project personally rewarding. As an all-volunteer organization, we hold ourselves and our partners to the same high standards of integrity, timeliness and follow-through as we would expect of paid employees and consultants.

La Fondation des Ressources Alternatives du Sud-Ouest organise depuis neuf ans un événement de levée de fonds pour venir en aide aux personnes ayant une déficience intellectuelle ou un trouble du spectre de l’autisme, le Défi FRAS. Cette activité a permis l’ouverture d’une maison de répit pour notre clientèle à Salaberry-de-Valleyfield. Les fonds amassés cette année serviront à soutenir cette maison, de façon à pouvoir accueillir un plus grand nombre de personnes.

La 10e édition du Défi FRAS aura lieu le samedi 8 juin 2019 au Parc régional des Îles-de-Saint-Timothée. Trois parcours sont offerts aux coureurs et aux marcheurs : 10 km, 5 km et 1 km familial.

Grâce à des organisateurs chevronnés, sa qualité et sa situation géographique, le Défi FRAS est un événement familial et convivial incontournable pour la région du Suroît. L’an dernier, notre événement a attiré plus de 600 marcheurs et coureurs, en plus des nombreux spectateurs venus encourager parents et amis ! Nous avons pu compter sur le soutien d’une cinquantaine de bénévoles dévoués, sans qui rien de tout cela ne serait possible.

Informations sur la course :

Course ou marche - 1 km, 5 km ou 10 km

100% des profits amassés iront aux personnes présentant une déficience intellectuelle ou un trouble du spectre de l’autisme.

Parcours balisé, premiers soins, chronométrage électronique, médailles, collation, photographe, aire de pique-nique et de jeux pour enfants, points d'eau sur le parcours, animation, accès à la plage.

Le défi équipe à pour but d’inciter les participants à courir et se fixer un objectif ensemble. Parce que courir pour une bonne cause c’est contagieux ! Les entreprises, les familles, les amis ainsi que des organisations pourront donc s’initier, s’engager, socialiser et avoir du plaisir dans la pratique de la course à pied.
