MOVE FOR KIDS’ SAKE

12:00 AM — 11:59 PM

STAY ACTIVE. STAY ENGAGED. STAY HEALTHY – ALL WHILE SUPPORTING YOUNG PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY!

BBBSM is launching our first ever Move for Kids’ Sake fundraiser running April 19th to May 30th  to get our community moving and keep us all healthy.  This event is a great way to challenge yourself, your friends and family or your staff (and their families or partners at home) to get moving too!  What do we mean by moving?  Commit to stretching 5 minutes a day, do some jumping jacks, have a dance party.  Whatever your activity is – just set a goal and stick to it!  Then, decide on your fundraising goal!  Will you complete 20 jumping jacks for every $20, stretch for every $1 raised or are you a dare devil and will you embrace the cold and run 1KM for every $20 raised? The choice is up to you but we hope you will move with us for the sake of kids in our community. Move For Kid’s Sake is a pledge based event.  You create a fundraising page, set a goal and decide what activity you will do to do in exchange for donations. We hope we can count on your support!  No goal is too low, it’s all about getting moving, getting involved, being creative and supporting the incredible difference that mentors have in the lives of our young people, now more than ever! #StayingConnected

EVERYONE CAN MOVE FOR KIDS’ SAKE!

COMMUNITY IMPACT – PLEASE HELP US REACH OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL!

For every $1,500 raised we can create and monitor one match for one year. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues into the winter, Big Brothers Big Sisters programs are in full swing, albeit remotely. Virtual mentoring has allowed us to continue to provide young people with a caring mentor and friend, especially when needed most. Proceeds of our Move for Kids’ Sake will help support virtual mentoring programs.

Hospice Huntsville

12:00 AM — 11:59 PM

Our annual Purple Boot Campaign is one of the fundraisers that Hospice Huntsville has for our largest fundraiser of the year, Hike for Hospice Huntsville. The campaign is an important source of income for our organization. These bright purple boots can be seen at local businesses and organizations raising not only funds but also awareness for Hospice Huntsville. Last year we raised over $5,800 in support of our operational costs of Hospice Huntsville/Algonquin Grace Residential Hospice. As COVID-19 continues to impact our community, we may not be able to distribute all 40 boots in our communities. That is why we are asking you to donate virtually to the Purple Boot Campaign. Every donation we receive can continue to make a huge difference. We are asking for your help at this critical time of economic uncertainty

Thank you for supporting our Virtual Purple Boot Campaign! Runs until may 31st.

New Community Market Coming this Spring

12:00 AM — 11:59 PM

Started by 4 like-minded women, this new Market will run on Sundays from May to October at the Muskoka Drive-In from 9 am to 3 pm.  The Market is currently receiving applications from vendors looking to sell their wares. With a goal of 30 vendors, the Market promises to have a variety of food and baked goods, cheese, fish, flowers and crafts to round out the experience.   In speaking with Linda Reisman, one of the organizers, she highlighted that the Drive-In property offers ample room to space out vendors and allow for proper COVID-19 protocols to be followed.   Additionally, the Market is looking to have one sponsored booth for young entrepreneurs - the goal is to have a free space for them to get their products in front of consumers and show what incredible talent Gravenhurst has to offer.   If you would like to sponsor this booth, get in touch with the ladies via email at gravenhurstcommunitymarket@gmail.com and for more information on the Market, visit https://gravenhurstmarket.wixsite.com/communitymarket

MOVE FOR KIDS’ SAKE

12:00 AM — 11:59 PM

STAY ACTIVE. STAY ENGAGED. STAY HEALTHY – ALL WHILE SUPPORTING YOUNG PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY!

BBBSM is launching our first ever Move for Kids’ Sake fundraiser running April 19th to May 30th  to get our community moving and keep us all healthy.  This event is a great way to challenge yourself, your friends and family or your staff (and their families or partners at home) to get moving too!  What do we mean by moving?  Commit to stretching 5 minutes a day, do some jumping jacks, have a dance party.  Whatever your activity is – just set a goal and stick to it!  Then, decide on your fundraising goal!  Will you complete 20 jumping jacks for every $20, stretch for every $1 raised or are you a dare devil and will you embrace the cold and run 1KM for every $20 raised? The choice is up to you but we hope you will move with us for the sake of kids in our community. Move For Kid’s Sake is a pledge based event.  You create a fundraising page, set a goal and decide what activity you will do to do in exchange for donations. We hope we can count on your support!  No goal is too low, it’s all about getting moving, getting involved, being creative and supporting the incredible difference that mentors have in the lives of our young people, now more than ever! #StayingConnected

EVERYONE CAN MOVE FOR KIDS’ SAKE!

REGISTER / CREATE FITNESS GOAL / RAISE PLEDGES / COMPLETE FITNESS GOAL
  • Fundraising and fitness goals are completed between April 19 – May 30
  • Participants are encouraged to video or photograph their fitness goal completion and share with their supporters
Participating is easy! You can register as an individual, team or corporate group. Simply choose your favourite fitness activity or challenge yourself by setting a fitness goal:
  • DANCE-A-THON: For every $5 I raise, I will dance for :30-seconds on Facebook Live on XYZ date/time
  • SKATE-A-THON: For every $5 I raise, I will skate one loop of an ice rink
  • DOG WALKING: For every $10 I raise, I will walk my dog 1 km
  • AEROBICS: For every $100 I raise, I will do 1,000 jumping jacks
  • DAILY STEP CHALLENGE: When I raise $500, I will complete 25,000 steps in one day
  • TRAIL BLAZER: If my family and friends help me raise $1,000, I will hike 15 km in one day
  • EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT: If my colleagues help me raise $2,500, I will do a polar bear dip in the nearest lake

COMMUNITY IMPACT – PLEASE HELP US REACH OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL!

For every $1,500 raised we can create and monitor one match for one year. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues into the winter, Big Brothers Big Sisters programs are in full swing, albeit remotely. Virtual mentoring has allowed us to continue to provide young people with a caring mentor and friend, especially when needed most. Proceeds of our Move for Kids’ Sake will help support virtual mentoring programs.
