AMERICAN RESCUE WORKERS FIRST ANNUAL MOVE-A-THON!

LET’S GET MOVING!

September 15, 2021 to October 15, 2021

 Greetings! We want to introduce you to a brand new, exciting fund raiser this year at the American Rescue Workers our 2021 Fall Move-a-Thon! Your participation in this event is a great way to help others through the local food pantry. You can walk, bike, run, golf, dance, yoga, or play for 125 minutes or more each week of this event. Together, we can stay healthy while positively impacting the Blair County community.

 The American Rescue Workers is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to providing spiritual and material aid to those in need. In Blair County, the ministry is most known for its Hollidaysburg Food Pantry and numerous giveaways and outreaches. The operations in Blair County rely on private donations and its own fundraising efforts to provide services and pay all expenses.

 STEP ONE: REGISTER

For this event, you can work as an individual or develop a team. You or your team commits to move (however, whenever, wherever you like) during the timeframe of Sept. 15-Oct. 15. If you gather a team, be sure to name a Captain. Please register on our website Move-a-Thon page at www.arwholly.org. Registration is free!

 STEP TWO: FUNDRAISE

Ask family and friends to support your efforts by making a tax-deductible donation to the American Rescue Workers. Please make checks payable to American Rescue Workers or donate online through ARW Move-a-Thon on Facebook or on our website at www.arwholly.org.

 STEP THREE: MOVE

From September 15 thru October 15, be sure to move (walk, bike, golf, run, dance, or play) so many minutes each week (we suggest 125 plus). In less than 20 minutes a day, you can reach your goal! There’s no need to report your daily minutes, but please keep track of your total minutes moved. Sorry, walks to the fridge or snack cabinet cannot be counted. LOL You can keep track of your steps, miles, minutes, etc. and the activities you do on your pledge forms.
