RACE FOR EDUCATION
October 24-November 14, 2020
The safety and health of our Race for Education participants and volunteers are a priority. With that in mind, we have decided to host our Race for Education event VIRTUALLY.
The Johnnie Alberta Foundation continues to monitor the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus). We are following the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and other health authorities and have decided to change our event to a virtual event from October 24, 2020 through November 14, 2020.
Even though we will not be hosting a traditional event, our virtual event will be a chance for you to participate with other people in your community – keeping safe distancing rules in place, of course. This year’s event will begin on October 24, 2020 and end on November 14, 2020. The entire week will be dedicated to Riding, Walking, or Running to fundraise for the JAF Scholarship.
HOW TO BE A PART OF OUR VIRTUAL EVENT
Ride, Run, or Walk…. Walk or Run: around your neighborhood or in the comfort of your home. Ride: locally or on a stationary bike. Complete your intended distance! Please follow your local social distance ordinances to stay safe.
Track and Share Your Progress from start to finish on one of our social media platforms via Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram using the hashtag #JAFVirtualRace2020. Tag us in your post by sharing your live video(s) or picture(s). Let us know if you are participating in honor or memory of someone, to encourage students to finish an undergraduate degree, or just for a great workout. It is powerful and encouraging!
We encourage you to join our Social Media Community participants and supporters to stay connected and enjoy our virtual experience together!
Please continue to ask friends and family for donations to support our mission and consider making a personal donation if you are able.
