Mentoring Miles Challenge

What is the Mentoring Miles Challenge?

Enjoy exercising…positively impacting children’s lives…spending time with family, friends and co-workers, then join us for the weekend of Friday, April 2nd through Sunday, April 4th for our new virtual fundraiser, Mentoring Miles Challenge (MMC). The beauty of MMC is "Milers" can exercise (run, walk, bike or swim) anywhere they want, anytime they want and exercise how many miles they want as long as it’s between Friday, 4/2 through Sunday, 4/4. MMC combines “getting fit” with collecting pledges of support for our mentoring programs and the hundreds of children we serve throughout Central Virginia. Whether you walk, run, bike or swim your participation will help change the lives of children for the better!

 How can I participate - make a donation of support?

Locate the walker, runner, biker or swimmer that you want to support in the FUNDRAISERS menu to the right. “Click” on their Individual Fundraising page and make a donation to help provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring professionally supported one-to-one relationships.

No ”Miler” to support…NO problem. ALL donations help support our kids!

To participate, simply “click on” the DONATE button above. All contributions support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Virginia’s mentoring programs that address the needs of children in our community and throughout Lynchburg and the surrounding counties of Appomattox, Amherst, Bedford and Campbell.

 WHY participate?

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Virginia is a national leader in providing mentoring services to children facing adversity, focusing on one-to-one relationships built on trust, encouragement, and friendship. Statistics have shown that caring adults positively impact children’s lives and even the smallest of changes can provide opportunities and hope for “at-risk” kids. Help Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Virginia transform these children’s lives for the better, forever! 

 Want to participate…become a “Miler”- walker, runner, biker or swimmer.

Simply “click on” Become a Fundraiser to create your own Individual Page. This will enable you to “share your story” while gaining donations of support while you exercise. Whether you wish to join an existing team or want to create your own Individual Page, we encourage you to invite your friends, family and co-workers to join in your effort as you “COMMIT TO GET FIT”. All donations from all of our fundraisers and individual team pages assist our cause. 100% of the proceeds go directly toward supporting our kids and the mentoring programs we provide. 

Share your journey on Social Media

We also encourage all participants to share short “video teasers” while training prior to MMC and during the weekend our Virtual Fundraising event. We’d love to share your journey too so please include us on your social media outlets or tag us at www.bigcva.org/getfit.
