Accept the Elite Mission
What is an Elite Warrior?
An Elite Warrior is a participant who also chooses to fundraise. It's that simple!
-
You're a Warrior First: You still choose your own athletic mission for September 20th, whether it's an in-person class, a virtual run, or a ride.
-
You're Also a Fundraiser: By creating a personal page, you're helping us reach more people and raise crucial funds for the cause.
-
There are NO Fundraising Minimums: Every single dollar you raise makes a difference. The goal is simply to share the mission with your network.
-
You're Eligible for Prizes! As a special thank you for your extra effort, the Top 3 Elite Warriors will win prize packages!
What Does an Elite Mission Look Like?
Your mission is personal to you! For example:
-
An experienced runner could train to run 30 miles on challenge day and ask their network to donate $1 for every mile they complete.
-
Someone getting back into working out could make participating in the FIIT Challenge their personal goal and ask for donations to support their commitment to showing up and giving it their all.
