Health experts from across the board agree the current pandemic sweeping through our communities, and the necessary constraints on social interaction, has led to a rise in social isolation. Furthermore, experts also agree social isolation adversely affects mental health, and experts predict overall substance abuse related deaths to increase for 2021.

$250 raised equals a 30oz custom Yeti Tumbler!

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
BUFFALO ADULT & TEEN CHALLENGE
Buffalo Adult & Teen Challenge is a 9-12 month residential discipleship program for men caught in the vicious cycle of drug and alcohol abuse and life-controlling problems. We endeavor to help people become mentally sound, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well and spiritually alive.
Buffalo Adult & Teen Challenge is the faith based answer to the drug epidemic. Because we are faith based we receive no government funding. We are fully funded by the generosity of local churches and the general public. We participate in multiple fund raising endeavors such as cookouts, pizza sales, door to door ministry, store front stands, and now fitness challenges such as this one. All funds raised go directly to the ministry. The money will feed, clothe, shelter, and otherwise support the men and women in our program. All funds are subject to multiple layers of accountability and a reliable system of checks and balances to ensure against any level of misuse. We strive to be good stewards of what God gives us and to teach a similar level of stewardship by the way we conduct ourselves.
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.
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?
