National Aviary to hold Hike-A-Thon throughout September
The National Aviary蘑菇视频 third annual Hike-A-Thon kicks off Tuesday, Sept. 1 and runs through September 30.
Participants can log miles as they hike, bike, and explore wherever they are, anywhere in the world. While exploring, they can engage their friends and family to raise funds in support of the National Aviary蘑菇视频 work to save birds and protect their habitats.
Hundreds of participants from more than a dozen states have logged thousands of miles in the past two years. This year蘑菇视频 event uses the same web-based platform that debuted last year and makes registering, logging miles, sharing stories, and gathering donations seamless and fun for participants. A registration fee of $40 supports the National Aviary and provides participants with a limited edition National Aviary Hike-A-Thon T-shirt, plus other goodies. A free registration option, which does not include a t-shirt or packet, is also available.
Once registered, hikers can create their own personal fundraising page to tell the story of what inspires them to support the National Aviary and encourage friends and family to back their month-long efforts to hike, bike, and explore with donations, and participants can track their mileage online or with a printed activity log. There is also an option to create a team.
Funds raised through the National Aviary Hike-A-Thon support the aviary蘑菇视频 care for its flock of more than 500 birds and mammals and its international conservation work.
鈥淭he National Aviary has raised more than $90,000 from the annual Hike-A-Thon events,鈥� said Laurie Nicholl, director of philanthropy at the National Aviary. 鈥淲e are beyond excited for the return of this fundraiser that allows participants to get outside and discover their surroundings in their neighborhoods and beyond while raising money for a great cause.鈥�
