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 the young people here in Ottawa. Throughout the month, you complete your challenge based on the amount of money you raise.
We need to keep moving, keep active and keep motivated.
Why not MOVE FOR MENTORING?!?!
For example, you will do one jumping jack for every dollar you raise (25 jumping jacks for $25 raised), 5 burpees for every $5 raised, or you will walk/run 1km for every $10 you raise.
You can record yourself completing your challenge or, just after you finish your challenge, let everyone know you’re Moving For Mentoring to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa – and why not challenge others to join you? Participate as an individual or a team.
