Social DASH-tancing Virtual Run/Walk for Wheeler Mission!

There’s a lot of bad news right now. And on top of it, we’re stuck inside, getting stir crazy, and growing more anxious every day. But there’s GOOD NEWS! “Moving our feet” isn’t cancelled! We’re so excited to share our exciting opportunity, getting you OUTSIDE to stay active—and make an incredible difference with every step. Join us for our Social DASH-tancing Virtual Run/Walk!

During this COVID-19 crisis, our neighbors experiencing homelessness are more vulnerable than ever. And right now, Wheeler Mission is caring for nearly 1,000 men, women, and children every night! While Hoosiers shelter-at-home, Wheeler’s guests have no home where they can quarantine. Sheltering at Wheeler Mission is their only option.

So…what can we do? During this unprecedented time, “move your feet” and raise funds to help Wheeler Mission care for our at-risk neighbors! While everything’s closed and there’s nowhere to go, running and walking is still allowed! For the entire month of April, we’re holding our first (and hopefully VERY LAST) Social DASH-tancing Virtual Run/Walk for Wheeler Mission!

FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE: Go the extra mile…and earn an awesome shirt! During registration, you’ll be able to make a donation to Wheeler and you’ll receive your own personal fundraising page. While fundraising is not required to participate, we challenge you to leverage your network, asking your family and friends to support Wheeler Mission throughout this crisis. 100% of the funds you raise help Wheeler Mission offer safety and care for its guests throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Your support helps save lives.

And here's the challenge: Move your feet and raise (or donate during registration) a minimum of $150 for Wheeler Mission! Once you've completed the challenge, you'll get your very own Social DASH-tancing t-shirt, celebrating your hard work "moving your feet" and raising funds for our neighbors in need.

DISTANCE: Open! You choose the DASH-tance! Walk for 10 minutes, run 20 miles…go CRAZY!

LOCATION: Outside your front door (treadmills accepted 😉)! Please virtually dash responsibly, and abide by all social distancing guidelines put in place by the CDC.

COST: Registration is free but we’re asking dashers to participate in our fundraising challenge (see above) OR make a suggested donation of $30/participant. A donation of just $30 amounts to two days of meals, shelter, and care at Wheeler Mission!

GET SOCIAL: We want to see your virtual dashing and cheer you on! Before your run or walk, throw on a Drumstick Dash shirt (from any year!) and take a picture. Post to social media and be sure to use the hashtag #SocialDASHtancing in your post. You can also post your pics to our Facebook event page! We can’t wait to follow along!

Ready to move? SIGN UP NOW to get OUTSIDE and…"Move your feet so others can eat!”®

P.S. We’re praying this pandemic ends swiftly, and look forward to seeing you IN PERSON on Thanksgiving morning for our 2020 Drumstick Dash!
