Join us in October 2024 for “Walk, Run, Bike for Thriving Communities,” a dynamic event organized by Knox College!
This event launches the Thrive Campaign, a community campaign where Knox College is fundraising to support vibrant congregations and spiritual and mental health. But this event is more than just a fundraiser, it is a community builder! For the community, the month of October will be a time to support each other and bear witness to how strong a community we are! It also signals Knox College’s commitment to holistic development, integrating physical well-being with spiritual and communal enrichment.
Participants are invited to choose their preferred activity and set personal fundraising goals! This flexibility allows everyone to engage at their own pace and contribute meaningfully to the cause. This year, Knox College’s Principal, The Rev. Dr. Ernest van Eck, will be biking 180km throughout the month of October in support of the Thrive Campaign and in honour of Knox College’s 180th anniversary on November 5, 2024. Will you walk, run, or bike with him in support of thriving communities?
Reflecting on Knox College’s mission, vision, and values there will be opportunities for spiritual reflection and community gathering during the month of October. These moments aim to inspire participants to connect their physical efforts with deeper personal and communal aspirations.
How to Participate:
1. Choose Your Activity: Select walking, running, or biking based on your preference and fitness level (no movement is too little! 1km, 5km, 10km, 180km!)
2. Set Fundraising Goals: Each participant sets a fundraising target to support the campaign’s goals of promoting thriving communities (no amount is not enough! $100, $500, $1,000!)
3. Join the Community: Celebrate achievements and share experiences that promote a sense of unity and purpose through your personal fundraising page.
