4X4X48 Run Challenge & Support Local Goal
The initial goal of $4800 has been paid out to 4 local families and secondary goal of $6000 was just hit. LETS DREAM BIG NOW! Can we get to $8400 to give 3 other nominated families each a $1200 credits for the business they were nominated for. Donations will be accepted up until the morning of July 5.
I enjoy running and I love giving back to my community, so I combined these two passions and created a fundraiser!
On June 29th, I am going to do the David Goggins 4X4X48 running challenge, which is to run 4 miles every 4 hours over a 48 hour period. With this running challenge I wanted to find a way to use it as a way to give back locally and so I came up with this idea.
I want to raise $100 per mile for a total of $4800 and to find 4 families that would benefit from a $1200 credit to one of 4 local businesses.
During this pandemic we all know people who have struggled that could use some help or a pick-me-up and now more than ever we need to support local businesses.
Nominations for individuals or families closed on May 31, 2021.
The 4 local businesses that I'm supporting are:
Black House Baked Goods is a local gluten-free bakery offering a small but delicious menu of celiac safe baked goods. The goal is to raise $1200 so that one local family would receive a credit up to $1200 to Black House Baked Goods.
Excel Painting does incredible work and are strong supporters in the community. Some people are struggling in isolation and are having feelings of depression; a fresh paint job can change how they feel. Other people have had their renovation dreams put on hold due to the pandemic. The goal is to raise $1200 so that one local family would receive a credit up to $1200 to Excel Painting.
Farmhouse Catering Company Ltd. is a local caterer that makes delicious food and their philosophy is local, ethical and sustainable; they support local farms and businesses as much as they can.The goal is to raise $1200 so that one local family would receive a credit up to $1200 to Farmhouse Catering Company.
Competition Auto is a small garage located up beside the Jolly Market. They are extremely professional and friendly and do great, reliable work. We depend so much on vehicles these days to get us to our work, school or shopping and can be so stressful when they break down. The goal is to raise $1200 so that one local family would receive a credit up to $1200 to Competition Auto.
If the goal is not reached then the total money raised would be divided by 4 and each family would receive that amount in a credit. All money raised over the goal will go towards other nominated individuals or families.
Thank you so much for helping reach this goal!
Support local!
