Spring is here!It's been another long winter, which has us at Ross and The Ross College Foundation ready to get outside and start enjoying the warmer weather. In fact, this year Ross and The Ross College Foundation are hosting a month-long challenge throughout April called Spring Into Action. The ChallengeThe inaugural Spring Into Action is a challenge to walk or run 26.2 miles (or more) over the course of April. That is the same distance as a marathon! Who Can Participate?We want you! Ross and The Ross College Foundation invite YOU to participate in the inaugural Ross Spring Into Action! Join us as we take this upcoming April as our month to get outside and take positive action for our health. What if you don't run? No problem. Walk a mile a day for 26 days and you've completed the challenge. What if you already walk a mile or more a day? You rock! And you can set your own goal of a double marathon or more. What if you are an avid runner that runs multiple miles day? We think you know the answer, set yourself a goal that pushes you throughout the month. Something like 75 miles over the course of the month, for example. You know what you can do! We urge you to set yourself a challenge that gets outside, gets you moving, and positively impacts your health. What's In It For You?It is a great way to shake off the winter blues, enjoy the outdoors, get active again, and start some healthy habits as the t-shirt weather approaches. Need some more motivation? Look at the benefits below.
You Mentioned Supporting a Good Cause, Tell Me more...Our Spring Into Action challenge is also a fundraiser with the goal of raising $5,000 for The Ross College Foundation. You can use this Fundrazr page to get your friends and family to support you by donating. For example, someone could donate $1 for every mile that you complete. Say you have ten people donating at $1/mile, you now have $10 for every mile you complete. Think of this as added motivation to push you towards completing the challenge. Better yet, all proceeds go directly to helping Ross students overcome financial barriers and achieve their goals! Want to know more about The Ross College Foundation? Check out our website here. You're In! What Do You Do Next?First of all, thank you! We are so excited that you've accepted this challenge, desire to make a positive impact on your health, and want to support a worthy cause.
