6-Mile Run/Walk for FEED


The FEED team is hosting a 6-Mile Run/Walk event on OCTOBER 18th from 8-11am. Location is still being determined at this point. Although plans are still coming together, you can count on the Run/Walk happening on October 11th to raise money towards FEED's $50,000 goal. This event has the potential to be the biggest fundraising opportunity for FEED. We are asking participants to seek sponsors for every mile they walk or run, or make a personal donation as an entrance fee. For example, our challenge to the youth in our church ministry is to attain approximately $200 each in sponsorships total. We believe this amount is easily attainable by asking businesses and family members to sponsor you $10 per mile. $10/mile x 6 miles = $60. $60 x 4 sponsors = $240! YOU can do it! We will also have entertainment, food, and t-shirts available at the event! The significance of walking and/or running the 6 miles is to honor the women and children in Africa that have to walk 6 miles just to provide water for their families' survival. Please come out and have fun while getting some exercise, support the FEED movement, and ultimately help save thousands of African lives.
