Charity Walk |
| Date: Feb 26, 2021 at 9:00am to 5:00pm | |
1. Before the day of our walk, download the Charity Miles app on your phone and choose a charity that your walk will benefit! **Please note: the list on the Charity Miles website is not updated, so the options on the app may not match.** There are a number of options; if you have time or inclination, you can look into the charities at https://www.charitynavigator.org which ranks nonprofits according to their use of finances and their transparency, and compiles a lot of information about them. When you sign up, you can note which charity you're supporting. **Make sure to link the app to a steps counter on your phone, e.g. the Health app if you are an iphone user.**
2. Decide how many miles you will try to walk (a standard walking pace is 3 to 4 miles per hour) and set that as your goal on the app. Gather pledges who will donate to your charity when you reach your goal. Consider asking friends, family members, or posting on social media. Have your donors sign up to donate following the steps given on Charity Miles.
3. For in-person folks, we'll meet at Northern Neck Starbucks the morning of the walk. If more than ten people come, we will split into groups. We can walk around Patriot Circle to make it easy for people to join in as different shifts start, or people can split off from the group to explore Fairfax.
For virtual folks, you can walk with other people or alone, in your neighborhood or city, on hiking trails, or anywhere you'd like! We'll be setting up facetimes or zoom calls so that you can chat with others in the group. More info on that later.
Miscellaneous notes: Join the "Alpha Phi Omega ADD Chapter" group on Charity Miles to get service credit for your walk. Make sure to bring water and snacks. If the weather is bad, you can walk indoors, e.g. on a treadmill. | |
