What is Run, Walk, Ride for Habitat?


Now that I described what I have done in the past month for my internship and what I am currently doing, I should probably describe what this event is.

Run, Walk, Ride for Habitat is the biggest fundraising event for the McMinnville Area Habitat for Humanity. The funds that are raised help provide money for different builds in the area. We are currently hoping to raise about $35,000 through sponsorship, registrations, and donations. We ask the schools, churches, and community businesses for help in that department, and they have competitions amongst themselves to see who can raise the most money. The winning school/church/business will get a trophy.

This is a great opportunity to get some exercise in and to spend the day with your family. You can create your own individual team. We have a 5K run or walk, a 10K run or walk, and a 27 mile bike course. It's a great way to keep your New Year's Resolution going halfway through the year. It's a great way to keep you honest. And, it's for a great cause.
