We are holding a World Orphan Relief event in January of 2008. This event will be held from January 21 – 26; we will have someone on a treadmill for 132 straight hours at the 24-hour Fitness located in Meridian, and a separate event occurring at the same time in Broomfield.
Each hour represents 1 million Orphans. Our intent is to build awareness for Orphans, as well as, raise $15,000 per each of our two locations.
This would be a great event for a group of you from your Church, small group, work, or neighborhood to be involved with! Contact our office for times still available; either as a Team Captain, a participant, or sponsor.
Each participant will have the option to fulfill the minimum $100 for the one-hour, they can gain commitments for sponsorship / pledges, or they can do a combination of the two. From my personal experience of running for 30 minutes in a 5k in May, I raised well over $4,000.
All pledges are tax deductible and will be used primarily in Zambia. In addition, we do have commitments in Mexico and we are in the process to begin funding the Rocky Mountain Adoption Fund.
As Team Captain, you will be responsible for filling up 6 hours, preferably with 6 individuals. Our goal is to maximize this time, and while it is not required, we would ask that you encourage your team members to secure additional pledges for their 1-hour on the treadmill. You will also be responsible for reminding and coordinating your team members to be at 24-hour Fitness.
We have times available from Monday, January 21 at 6AM to Saturday, January 26 at 6PM.
This is a great opportunity to serve for a company, a group of people, or some other association. I look forward to hearing back from you some time this week. I would like these times committed to by close-of-business on Friday, December 16th. Thank you for your consideration, and feel free to call me with any questions you may have. The World Orphan Relief number is 303.840.1123.
