3 1. Scotiabank Blue Nose Marathon The Scotiabank Blue Nose Marathon is known as the people s marathon and is an annual celebration of healthy living and active lifestyles held over the Victoria Day holiday weekend in Halifax, NS. All ages, abilities and fitness levels are welcome! For 2018, up to 13,000 walkers and runners, supported by volunteers, will take to the streets of Halifax. With one of the largest youth runs in Canada and the largest marathon weekend east of Ottawa, Blue Nose features a total of seven distance events and a wide range of associated events. A Distance For Everyone! Scotiabank Full Marathon (42.2 KM) Killam Properties Marathon Team Relay (42.2 KM) Blue Nose Half Marathon (21.1 KM) Blue Nose 15KM Goodlife FITNESS 10KM Lifemark 5KM Doctors Nova Scotia Youth Run 2KM and 4KM 2. Scotiabank Charity Challenge (SCC) Overview The Scotiabank Charity Challenge was created as a community-building component of all Scotiabank marathons. In addition to supporting the marathon s local economy, the Scotiabank Charity Challenge offers a key fundraising opportunity for local nonprofits. In 2017 alone, Scotiabank and the Scotiabank Charity Challenge has raised over $8 million for 560 community charities across the country through our six sponsored marathons. Over 103,000 people participated in the various race distances, with thousands of friends and family attending to cheer them on. Since the Scotiabank Charity Challenge began in 2003, we have raised over $62 million for local charities across Canada. Charities recruit fundraisers who register for a Blue Nose Marathon event, create an online fundraising account and then raise funds using a secure online fundraising system. When charities register to become part of the Scotiabank Charity Challenge they benefit from: Being part of a major community event with no financial risk the focus is on fundraising, not logistics Page 3 of 14

4 Many of the costs to fundraise are paid for by Scotiabank, so every dollar raised goes directly to the cause Charities and fundraisers receive access to a secure online fundraising platform Artez at no cost to them, allowing runners to fundraise automatically 3. Scotiabank Charity Challenge Program Features 10 event registration entries for any Blue Nose Marathon event (see page 11 for details on Charity PIN Codes) Chance to win Scotiabank Charity Challenge cash prizes totaling $24,750. Featured as an Official Charity on the Blue Nose Marathon website. Personalized secure online fundraising system Artez 2-day Active Living Expo at the World Trade and Convention Centre where you can promote your charity to up to 20,000+ runners, walkers, volunteers and spectators. Scotiabank Blue Nose Marathon Active Living Expo Scotiabank underwrites all credit card transaction fees for donations processed by credit card. Your charity receives 100% of all donations received. Cost: $600 (inclusive of HST) to participate as an Official Charity 4. Benefits for Your Charity An opportunity for over 13,000 runners who register in the Blue Nose Marathon to run and raise funds for a charity of their choice. Charities can leverage the Scotiabank Charity Challenge as an annual fundraising opportunity promote your presence in the Blue Nose Marathon to active donors so they can register and fundraise for your cause. Reduce risk by removing many of the costs associated with organizing a stand-alone fundraising event. Focus your time on raising funds - not on logistics and operations. Raise awareness for your cause by teaming up with a world-class event that fully supports and promotes the Scotiabank Charity Challenge. Page 4 of 14

5 Convenience and security of online fundraising and tax receipting through our secure online fundraising system, Artez, at zero cost. Scotiabank underwrites use of Artez online fundraising platform as well as all credit card transaction fees for donations processed by credit card. Charities keep 100% of all donations. A dedicated Scotiabank Charity Challenge Coordinator to help our official charities with any questions or concerns along the way. 5. Benefits of Using the Artez Platform Quick reporting: real-time fundraising reports with registrant details and cumulative or individual donation information, including tax receipt numbers. Easy tax receipting: tax receipts are generated electronically through a non-alterable PDF (the only format allowed by the CRA) and issued instantly to the donor s address. Secure: Artez uses the latest high encryption technology to ensure safe transactions. Low administration costs: Less handling of cash and cheque donations means more time to recruit and encourage participants. Personalization: participants can customize their own fundraising page by uploading a photo, setting their individual fundraising goal, customizing their own text message and tailoring messages to send to their family, friends and co-workers. Users can upload address books in one easy step, reaching their entire social network with just a few clicks. Real-time results: your runners can easily track pledges as they head towards their fundraising goal, sending out customized thank you s to donors along the way or after the race. Page 5 of 14
