For the second year, we’re hosting a virtual event to encourage daily healthy and fun activities for the entire family.
From May 3 – 14, we challenge you to do at least one healthy activity each day.
Activities can be anything from a daily walk, a family bike ride, or a round of golf. You can also choose your own activities. Maybe try something new, or set some goals to accomplish! Check out some ideas for ways you can participate.
Leading up to the event, gather your friends, family and colleague to create a virtual team. Share why supporting Children’s Minnesota is important to you and raise money for kids and families that need your help.
Celebrate with the community who was there for you when you needed them most and give thanks for your Children’s Minnesota story. Together we can make the journey better for every family who comes to Children’s Minnesota.
