Join us in a peer-to-peer fundraiser to support the work of On Earth Peace. Throughout the month of June, the OEP community will collectively walk, run, dance, swim, shoot hoops, anything! to accumulate miles towards our goal. In May, the fundraising phase of the event begins. Money raised through the 3000 Miles for Peace event will go towards On Earth Peace's work to develop young peacemakers through our internship program and youth & children's resources.
This year's route will take us nearly 4400 miles! In June, we will be able to track our collective progress to reaching our 3000+ miles goal. The virtual route connects the On Earth Peace Board of Directors as Laura Hay, co-chair, journeys to Greensboro, NC for the Church of the Brethren Annual Conference.*
Start logging on June 1st midnight local time. Your miles will boost your team and also help advance the On Earth Peace avatar along the US route!
Please select a location from the list that appears on the form when you type your hometown location to place your avatar on the map before the race starts. (If you simply enter your address without selecting from the automated list, you will be placed in Oakland, CA.)
You can log running or walking miles OR log minutes of nearly 80 modes of exercise, which our software converts into miles on the route. Currently, 13 participants on 0 teams are registered from companies around the globe!
About the challenge:
- Recruit friends and colleagues to give money for On Earth Peace by sharing your personalized P2P fundraising links.
- See other racers' locations around the globe before the challenge starts by entering a home location on registration.
- Get Racery bling—a digital bib and an award when the challenge is over.
- Log lots of inclusive activities that convert into miles that advance the On Earth Peace avatar across America.
- Post a photo or comment on other racers' logs.
- Compete on leaderboards for miles and donations.
We look forward to this event that connects all of the OEP community! Thank you for your efforts to fundraise on our behalf and have fun as you consider the activities you will participate in throughout June!
We also seek congregation, college, and business sponsors for this event, to learn more about sponsoring On Earth Peace's events, contact Marie at mrhoades@onearthpeace.org.
*Please note that Laura is not actually walking to Greensboro. This is a fun route inspired by the OEP Board of Directors. Laura will be at Annual Conference in July - they will fly to get there.*
