Can I register for the 28-Day Challenge or sponsor a participant by paying by check or cash?
If you choose to pay with cash or check, your donation will be counted toward the 28 Days Challenge total.
Please note, however, that your name will not appear on the 28 Day Challenge platform. Therefore, you will not have access to a personal account allowing you to receive exclusive content, form a team, or complete missions. Your name as a sponsor of a participant will not appear anywhere and cannot be added to the participants’ records.
To access all these features and fully participate in the 28 Days Sober Challenge 2026, you must pay by credit card.
To supplement your donation by cheque or cash, please contact the Jean Lapointe Foundation at 514 288-2630.

This receipt can be downloaded from the thank-you email sent to the email address used for your payment.
When will I receive my tax receipt?
For every completed donation (registration, sponsorship, or one-time gift), you will receive a thank-you email with a link to download your tax receipt.
The amount on my tax receipt does not match the total amount of my donation. Is this normal?
If you purchased the Challenge Box, it is normal that the amount on your tax receipt does not match the total amount of your donation. According to the laws surrounding the issuance of receipts, the receipt you receive is for the value of your donation, less the value of the box.
If you did not purchase the Challenge Box, the amount on your tax receipt should be the same as your donation.
I registered for January but I would now like to continue in February, do I need to re-register?
Yes, we thank you for continuing and supporting the cause again with your donation.
