ABOUT STEPPING OUT IN FAITH CAMPAIGN
Stepping Out in Faith is a fundraiser to benefit House of Prayer, a charitable organization offering men a path to freedom from addiction. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need to help people struggling with substance abuse, while also making it more challenging to raise funds to fight this battle. Since we cannot hold a fall banquet - we decided to host a “virtual walk” fundraiser. Studies have shown that physical exercise improves your attitude and self-confidence, so why not do something to help yourself while also helping others? What is a Stepping Out in Faith Virtual Race?Unlike a traditional walk-a-thon or race, this virtual walk uses technology and allows for social distancing. You can participate by yourself, but we encourage you to get your family, friends, or co-workers involved. This is an ideal way to bring people “together” to have fun, get fit and raise money for a good cause. The race will run from October 1 to October 31, 2020. Feel free to jump in at the beginning or after the race is underway.You simply register anytime during the virtual race dates, continue to do the things you normally do to stay active, or take on the challenge to be more active knowing you are raising vital funds to fight addiction! If walking or running is not your thing, no problem. All activities count – golf, swimming, spinning, etc. As long as you are moving you will be Stepping Out in Faith! HOW DO I GET STARTED?
