Description
Join this fitness challenge of historic proportions while runners/walkers across the country band together to help support and uplift the graduating class of 2020. We are looking to raise $5000 to purchase dorm room essentials for graduating high school seniors. Each $1 raised helps us purchase dorm room essentials for a deserving high school senior.
We all have been affected in some way by the Covid-19 pandemic, and right now it seems nearly impossible to get out and stay active. That’s why we wanted to come together and offer you a little healthy competition. Right now through July 26, 2020, Raising BeYOUtiful Butterflies is hosting a Virtual fitness challenge. This is an event you can feel good about!
Every dollar from ticket sales will go directly into our dorm room hook-up scholarship fund, which will provide 2020 graduating high school seniors with the following dorm room essentials:
- Dorm Room Fridge
- Microwave (if allowed)
- Bedding
- Laptop Computer
- Printer
We are all touched by this global COVID-19 pandemic. We are seeing a major increase in our dorm room hook-up scholarship applications, as people are facing unforeseen financial hardship. At the same time, we have a decrease in donations, because regular donors don’t have the extra funds to help. At a time when 2020 high school seniors face heartbreak and anxiety. While students are still able to finish classes and graduate with the help of their school districts and distance learning, their accomplishments have widely been overshadowed by COVID-19, it’s heartbreaking to have to turn applications away. These children need to be inspired by your commitment to act on their behalf.
