Tips

By becoming a charity athlete, you’ll have everything you’ll need to get in shape and raise much needed funds for one of the official charities.   Not an athlete?  Not a problem.  Whether you were the captain of your track team or have never run a mile in your life – we’re here to ensure you meet your fitness goals while providing you with tips and tools to help you raise money for charity.

“Supporting a cause while training is a life changing experience that will not only give you motivation to go one more mile, but it gives you a fun way to get fit.” – Dana McKeithen, Charity Runner.

I've never raised money before, where do I start?

If your only experience in raising money has been buying a box of Girl Scout cookies, not to worry! We provide you with the tools to make your fundraising experience easy and fun.  Taking part in an athletic event is a huge accomplishment and using your commitment and motivation to raise money for a cause that is important to you makes this endeavor even more admirable.
