FundRacing

The Theater Project is an award-winning, small professional theater. We count on the support of grants, corporations and foundations, but most importantly individual donors to continue to produce off-Broadway quality shows for New Jersey audiences, and now with online programs available around the country. We keep our ticket prices affordable to fulfill our mission of making live theater accessible to all. But ticket prices alone won't cover our costs. That’s where you come in.   

We are delighted to organize this 5K and Challenges for 2021. We hope all participants can help us succeed in our fundraising goal, while having fun participating in this event.

How our Friends Helping Friends Fundraising works: 

• As you become a participant in our 5K Walk/Run or one of our 150-mile Challenges, you will get a personal webpage. This is your personal fundraising page. 
• Let your friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, local shops, and many other people in your network know that you are participating in our event to support The Theater Project. 
• Ask them to sponsor you: All the proceeds go to The Theater Project so we can continue our important mission. They can donate easily by credit card directly on your personal page.
• We recommend a minimum fundraising goal of $200, but many have achieved much more over the years, so don't hesitate to aim high! Many are surprised at how many people will be happy donating to a cause that matters to you.

5K Races

For the 5K races, you can sign up as a runner or a walker. The races will be virtual, meaning that you do it wherever you want (outdoor or indoor on a treadmill).  

The 5K races must be completed between Friday June 25th and Sunday June 27th. The person accomplishing the 5K fastest in its respective category will win the event.

Challenges

For the Challenges, you can sign up as a runner, biker or a walker. Your cumulative effort over the course of several weeks will account for your performance. The races will be virtual, meaning you do it wherever you want (outdoor or indoor on a treadmill). 

The Challenges must be completed between Saturday March 13th (but you can join later) and Sunday June 27th. The person accomplishing the Challenge at the fastest pace in its respective category will win the event.

You will be able to see your progress along your virtual route from Theater to Theater as you enter your mileage!  A great way to stay motivated!

This year, we'll be taking you on a 150 miles tour of New Jersey live theaters.
