Now until November 29, you can add your name (1 entry per runner) to be entered in a chance drawing for one of ten hotel rooms at the Revere Hotel Boston Common. We can’t recommend this hotel enough as we host all marathon weekend events here! You can submit your name by clicking HERE.
#GivingTuesday: 12/3
Giving Tuesday is an extraordinary opportunity for donors to support their favorite charities. If you plan to take advantage of this day, make sure to start the planning process by building a list of potential supporters – the donor tracking Excel is a great tool from the portal! Think through how you will ask for their support (i.e., email, phone call, written letter, social media, or a combination), and populate their contact information into the spreadsheet.
As a reminder, the teammate who raises the most money on #GivingTuesday via TeamRaiser will receive a gift certificate for an overnight hotel stay at the Revere Hotel! All runners who raise $500+ will be entered into a chance drawing for Stepping Strong swag.
- When: December 3 from 12am until 11:59pm
