In 2002, Artez began working with Kids Help Phone (KHP) to support their annual Bell Walk for Kids Help Phone. In that first year, they raised just over $150,000. Since then, however, funds raised online have increased to more than $675,000, and now account for 40% of all funds raised by the walk. In 2005, KHP raised more than $1 million online in total.

Reflecting this growth in online fundraising, and fuelled in part by the online success of their walk, Artez’s relationship with KHP has grown over the years to encompass additional events and activities, and our role has become more strategic and partnership-oriented.

We also continue to explore how best to support the wide range of third-party organized events raising funds for KHP. In addition to the Walk, KHP now also provides pledge-based fundraising for their Bank of Montreal golf tournament and their regional Halloween “Boo-la-thon” events, as well as online ticketing for their annual dinner. Artez is proud to support Kids Help Phone with all of their online fundraising endeavours.
