The Mentoring Club Give Back Lead Forward Event
The Give Back Lead Forward Virtual Run/Walk/Bike is a fundraising event to benefit The Mentoring Club.
The Mentoring Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide a mentoring community for aspiring and seasoned leaders. Anywhere in the world, we help working people find mentors who can guide them to develop the skills they need to achieve their career and life goals. We help mentees fulfill their goals through meaningful work that creates a positive impact in the world. As mentees become leaders, our dream is for them to become mentors to others.
The Mentoring Club aims to provide people in the workforce the ability to connect with mentors who can help them build their confidence, develop new skills, consider a career change, and become leaders they aspire to be to make the world a better place.
Description
We are so excited to invite you to The Mentoring Club’s 7th Annual Global Run/Walk/Bike fundraiser!
As leaders, we believe we must invest in ourselves intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. This fun event is about taking care of ourselves and our health, so we can take care of others amid the day-to-day challenges in our lives and the world around us.
Join us as we all “Give Back Lead Forward” in this fun-raising event!
By going virtual, we can participate in this event anytime between July 7, 2026, and August 8, 2026, and be active, be involved, be a part of a community supporting a cause* while enjoying a run or walk or bike any place with a scenic outdoor view, by ourselves or with our family and friends.
