BBBSO PRESENTS MOVE FOR MENTORING
We need to keep moving, keep active and keep motivated! Why not MOVE FOR MENTORING?!?! This is a simple and fun way to make a difference in our community! Participants will challenge themselves (and each other) to be active while raising pledges to support young people here in Ottawa. Throughout the month of March you can complete your challenge based on the amount of money you raise.
1. SIGN UP
Register an INDIVIDUAL! It is super simple to sign up for our Move for Mentoring Challenge! Just create your individual fundraising page to get started! Make sure to look under tips and tools for our welcome package! Within the package, you will find more detailed information on how to sign up as well as some fundraising templates and suggestions to get you started.
Register a TEAM! The more, the merrier! Grab a friend or two or ten and all agree to complete the same Move for Mentoring Challenge (please note this is still a solo campaign, and challenges should be done in accordance with social distancing protocol)!
2. SET YOUR GOAL
All you need to do is select your favourite way to stay active or, try out new exercises and follow our guided themed weeks throughout the event! Need some inspiration? Take a look at the Move for Mentoring ideas below.
