Challenge yourself and others

Walk, Run, Ride, Whatever!

THIS EVENT IS CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION!

From July 31st to August 2nd, challenge yourself and others to get outside with friends and family for an hour dedicated to Guide Dogs of America.

We wanted to do a walk, we wanted to do a run, but quite frankly we just wanted to include everyone. No matter how old you are or where you live, you can participate in our Walk, Run, Ride…Whatever!

This isn’t like any other fundraiser, it can truly be “Whatever!” you want to make of it. You can walk, run, ride a bike, ride a motorcycle, ride a donkey, pogo-stick, bungee jump, play guitar, dance through a field; the possibilities are genuinely “Whatever!” The only rule is that you MUST put the “Fun” in Fundraiser.

It’s only $10 to join and 17 and under are free! You can start or join a team, or register as an individual. All attendees will be given the opportunity to fundraise once you register, or you can just make a donation!

We thank you for continuing to fundraise amid the COVID-19 pandemic in honor of those who battle vision loss, mobility issues, PTSD, and Autism.
