Interested in creating a personal physical challenge goal while also supporting our amazing Lake Tahoe/Truckee Community? Then the Tahoe Together Virtual 19 mile challenge is just the event for you! You can run, bike, hike, kayak, belay, or a combination of any or all….19 miles at one time in one day or spread it out during the week long event. This is a remote event…do it wherever you live. The event is $35…that includes a cool Tahoe Together bumper sticker and the knowledge that you are contributing to a great cause. If you would like to add on a t-shirt, we will send you one for an extra charge. We are limiting costs in order to make the most funds for the families of Lake Tahoe who are in dire need.
The cause: In response to the challenges and uncertainties brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tahoe Prosperity Center created the Tahoe Together Campaign. #TahoeTogether
This pandemic continues to affect our residents in the Tahoe region with business closures, school closures and self-quarantines to name a few. With our tourism-based economy, in this unprecedented situation, we know that the effects on our community will be far-reaching.
Tahoe Together Campaign is designed to provide funding directly to our nonprofit organizations to address the needs and vulnerabilities of the Tahoe region. In the short-term, this fund will provide resources for basic, immediate needs, while the long-term goals will be focused on recovery and resiliency throughout the Tahoe region.
All funds raised will go directly toward this effort through the three regional community foundations. We are better together. Today more than ever, our community must come together to support those who need our help.
We are super excited to put on this fundraising event. The event will start June 22 and run through June 28th. You can register to participate until June 27th. As mentioned, we don’t care how you complete the 19 miles. You can run, walk, crawl, cartwheel, paddle, bike, hike, etc. We just want you moving forward! You can do it all at once or break it up however you’d like…get creative. You have one week to finish it so you are only looking at 2.7 miles per day.
