Description
Welcome to our first annual Hike-a-Thon!!
What is a Hike-a-Thon?
A hike-a-thon is an extended "race" type event that combines hiking 🥾 and fundraising 💸! This is an opportunity to challenge our community to get outdoors for their mental health and wellbeing, while also supporting our nonprofit!
Starting on Monday, November 20, 2023, we challenge you to grab your, friends, family, pets, colleagues and everyone else in your life to get outdoors to spend some quality time together racking up some miles! Hit your favorite trails, walk your neighborhoods, explore new parks - just find yourself outdoors as often as possible and enjoy the healing power of nature!
Support our Nonprofit while you hike!
We have a big fundraising goal and we need your support to help us get there, so, as you are striving to reach your mileage goals, we ask you to also reach out to your network to donate on your behalf to meet your fundraising goal. Each participant has their own individual fundraising page that you can share. Be sure to check out the Fundraising Tips page to support you meet your goal!
What you're supporting
Our inaugural Hike-a-Thon will raise funding for our 2024 programming, including the expansion on our Ambassador Program. Our Ambassadors host free monthly group hikes, lead workshops, support our annual retreats, and most importantly, facilitate group experiences that allow women to be seen, heard, and celebrated among their peers. We currently have 8 active Ambassadors that reach approximately 400 women via in-person events annually. Our goal for 2024 is to expand to 20 Ambassadors, more than doubling our reach, to approximately 1,000 women per year.
Community Building
Connection and community is one of the cornerstones of our overall wellbeing. During this Hike-a-Thon, we challenge you to get some of your hikes in with others. Join a local group hike, or create your own. Be sure to visit our Hike-a-Thon Facebook Group Page to connect with folks in your area.
