ABOUT CAREPOSSIBLE'S 7TH ANNUAL SALUTE TO THE MILITARY CAMPAIGN
We kick off CarePossible’s 7th Annual Salute to the Military as a virtual run/walk on November 4 through November 11, 2020. A time for everyone in the community to get active, give back to veterans, and connect as a group virtually while keeping a safe distance.
 
We understand you have a lot of concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic. While we all try to adapt to our new normal, we remain determined to continue serving our veterans and low-income families in Orange County. Your participation in this virtual event allows us to continue fulfilling our mission to provide free mental health care to veterans!
 
Registration begins October 15,2020 and our virtual event will run from November 4 through November 11, 2020.
 
Invite your remote office employees, friends, family, schools, church groups and any other people together and work toward a registration and fundraising goal if you so choose. $800 provides three months of counseling for a veteran in crisis. Pool your registration costs and any additional donations you compile and work together to help one life at a time.
 
Make sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for daily challenges and prizes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Charity Footprints?

Charity Footprints is a social enterprise that connects fitness and charitable giving. We empower people just like you, to get fit & give back.

Our Virtual Races allow non-profits to challenge their patrons to run, walk or ride and raise funds just as they would in a fundraising walkathon. The best part - charities save over 45% in event and logistical costs. So, the dollars that you pay to register or fundraise, go farther.

What is the campaign registration fee?

Campaign registration fee is the amount that you'll need to pay to enroll in this virtual race. This fee (less transaction charges) will go to the non-profit running this campaign as a donation.

The registration fee along with the funds raised through your individual fundraising page will enable the non-profit to fund various programs and pursue their organization's mission.

How can I create my fundraising page?

Well, you wouldn't have to create a separate fundraising page. Once you register for this campaign, we'll give you the link to your fundraising page.

How will I track my distance?

You can track your workouts by setting up your devices (Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Watch, Google Fit, Misfit, Strava), or download the Charity Footprints' iOS or Android app and track your workouts toward this campaign. ?>

If you workout indoors (treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike etc.), you can upload your workouts here.

How do I join a team on this campaign?

While registering for the campaign, select the team you'd like to join or create a new team and invite others to #GetFitGiveBack with you. If you want to join a team (or create your team) after registration, login to the campaign site and you would find a link to edit "My Team" in the menu under your profile in the header.

I am an international donor (non-US), what are my donation charges and tax-deductibility?

All donations are made in US dollars, so the donations may be levied an exchange rate fee via your bank. Donors will want to connect with their bank to determine exactly what that fee may be. Additionally, international donors will need to reach out to a tax professional to discuss if and how tax deductibility will apply to their donation.

Who can sponsor my fundraising efforts?

The short answer is - everyone. The fundraising research shows that the number one reason for people not donating is that they weren't asked to.

That said, there are things you can do to attract people to sponsor you. Adding a picture to your fundraising page, telling potential donors why this cause is so personal to you, sharing your fundraising page on social media, email, and chat groups.

Last, if your employer has a gift matching program, check with the human resources department to support your favorite cause as well.

Who can I contact if I need help?

You can contact us any time if you need help. We love hearing from our users so please don't hesitate to write to us about issues, suggestions, or to just say hi. You can also contact the non-profit administrator directly if you would like.
