Terry Fox Run releases iPhone and Android app, embraces mobile donations

By on September 12, 2011 at 10:13am in Mobile News


Terry Fox is deep into the hearts of Canadians and the annual Terry Fox Run is back on this year for the 31st time. Like always the goal is to generation donation to help fight Cancer but this time they are embracing mobile. The app is currently only available on iPhone and Android devices and there’s no word on a BlackBerry or Windows Phone 7 app in the future. Features include the ability to make mobile donations via PayPal, see your donation progress and share via Twitter and Facebook. The Terry Fox run is happening on September 18th.

  2. I hope Apple doesn’t take 30% from all donations.

  3. Sounds like a good app. Wish an account wasn’t required, but oh well.

    Since it’s PayPal, there is a processing fee, but it should be less than 30%.

    However, i’ve read somewhere that the alternative “text to donate” programs charge a lot of processing fees. Can someone comfirm whether or not this is true?
