Our #Move4Meals Virtual Marathon is a chance for anyone, anywhere, anytime to participate and support families who are food insecure in New York City. This is a virtual marathon walk/run of 30 miles to be completed any time before the end of November 2017. You can walk or run all at once or you can spread out your miles over time.
Sign up for the Beth Hark Ambassadors Team, your company team, or create your own team! A $10 registration fee is suggested, but generous individuals can choose a bigger amount. Each participant is asked to target a $300 fundraising goal with all funds benefiting Beth-Hark Christian Counseling Center (a 501C3). All individuals creating their own teams will get a team page in addition to their individual fundraising page. Team pages can be used to invite friends, family members, colleagues and/or others to join the #Move4Meals Virtual Marathon. Company and team sponsorships are encouraged but not required. Registration is open through September 30th 2017 and accepted at any time.
Steps are tracked through a free mobile app available for iOS and Android with a link provided at the time of your registration. Login on the app and you are ready to go! Our goal is to raise $30,000 with 100 participants!
Show off your participation and progress with friends and family on twitter, Instagram and Facebook using #Move4Meals. Share your stories and pictures and you may be featured on our website and social media!

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?

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.
How do I change or switch my team?
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.
