Fundraising Check-In Calls
Our team is hosting fundraising check-in calls throughout the marathon season to support YOU!

Calls will start on Friday, January 12 and continue bi-weekly through Friday, April 5.
Fundraising Tip of the Week
As everyone gets ready for their New Year resolutions, think about a workout class to help tackle your fundraising efforts! Nowadays, many cycling, yoga, and fitness instructors are willing to donate their time for a cause. Reach out to your favorite teacher or stop into a studio by you and ask if they would host a charity class to benefit your run. It’s a great way to bring multiple networks together to raise funds and build awareness about Stepping Strong.
