Virtual Run/Walk: Pledge a specific number of miles you plan to run or walk on your own – you can go around your neighborhood, your yard or your house (or even climb stairs instead!), and ask friends and family to sponsor you per lap. You can even make the pledge and donate the money yourself, that kind of motivation will help you get moving and support both CRC and good health!
For inspiration, read the story about a 99-year-old veteran who raised $17 million for Britain’s NHS.
Remote Connections: Do you have lots of friends and family across the miles? Pledge to donate a certain amount for each call or email you make to connect with them. They’ll be so glad to hear from you and you can tell them how the call is also supporting your community!
Zappy Hour: Schedule a Zoom video happy hour with friends and/or family. You can charge a $5 “cover” fee to participate, with funds going to CRC to provide food, housing and more to your neighbors in need.
Zingo: Schedule a Zoom video bingo game, you can charge a fee to participate with the money going to CRC. This is a fun thing to do with kids, too!
Art Auction: If you have kids who are crafty, have them paint or draw a picture and ask relatives and friends to send you their highest bid to purchase it. The top bid becomes the donation sent to CRC – and we’d be happy to send your child a thank you card for their role in raising the money!
