Story Slams are no-holds-barred competitive storytelling events.

WCFC's version will be no different.

4 competitors will take the stage and have a chance to share their best, worst or just plain weirdest fundraising story.

5 random audience members will be selected to judge each story.

You'll laugh. You'll cry. And you'll learn about the power of storytelling and how you can apply it to inspire your donors to deeply connect with your cause, give more, and stay loyal to your organisation for years to come.


*Make sure to bring a little cash with you (or your smartphone) since we’ll keep up the WCFC tradition of raising money for a soon-to-be-identified charity with a 'pass-the-hat' donation (and its virtual equivalent).
