ABOUT HEALTHY MIND, HEALTHY LIFE CAMPAIGN
 
 
 
May is not only a sacred celebration of the Republic of the Marshall Islands Independence, but it is also mental health awareness month. Join us May 1st, Jemenei (Constitution) Day, as we launch a virtual campaign to encourage our community to be more intentional about their wellbeing.
 
Wellness is defined as the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to attain better physical and mental health outcomes, so that instead of surviving you are thriving. The four elements of wellness are incorporated into this challenge, and include: Spiritual, Emotional, Physical, and Social.
 
This event is in loving memory of our beloved Kalena Kattil-deBrum who came up with the culturally cognizant activities included in this campaign.
 
We are honored to have the support of Miss Marshall Islands Claret Taonang ChongGum once again for this campaign. Miss ChongGum’s platform in her bid for Miss Marshall Islands was mental health and it will be a gift to have her on this journey with us. Look for ways her influence is imprinted throughout this campaign.
 
Step 1: Register for the campaign as an individual or family. You will have the option to join or start a team, this is a fun way to create a collective goal among friends and family. The family option is for families with young children that would like to collectively participate. *Please note registrants must have an email address. We apologize in advance for any barrier this may cause in participation.
 
Step 2: Invite your friends, family and colleagues to join the event or your team, and perhaps donate or create a fundraiser to support our efforts to champion the Ministry of Health & Human Services Iakwe Ward (Crisis Holding Center).
 
Step 3: Starting May 1st in the Marshall Islands (April 30th in the US) start tracking your footprints by downloading the free Charity Footprints App and then selecting the activity you participated in. There is no limit to the number of activities you can complete in a day.
 
Awards
 
We will award both individual and family participants with the most footprints at the end of the campaign in both the Marshall Islands and the United States.

HOW YOUR PARTICIPATION HELPS

Our goal is to use a portion of proceeds from donations to this campaign in support of their monumental efforts in serving the health and welfare of the community.
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.

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.
