Join my Horseback Riders and Hikers Geauga Trail Challenge team! Our goal is to get out and use the Geauga parks as much as we can in the month of October and fund raise for the Foundation for Geauga Parks. Join my team, get your friends to join our team or start your own team. Of course if you are just interested in donating, that is wonderful too.   

Township and Geauga Park District parks have provided unmeasurable mental and physical benefits to community members during the pandemic. By donating or participating in the Geauga Trail Challenge, we can all help to raise funds by running, walking, or riding as many miles as possible in any of the parks from October 1st through October 31st. 

HOW IT WORKS: Register as an individual or team at https://secure.qgiv.com/event/fgpchallenge/ and commit to a running, walking, or riding challenge of your choosing (For example, I am committed to horseback riding or hiking as much as possible in the month of October). As with any Peer-to-Peer fundraiser, you set a fundraising goal and ask friends, family, and other connections to sponsor or donate toward your efforts. 

Funds raised go to the unrestricted fund account for the Foundation for Geauga Parks. The FGP raises funds to preserve green spaces, enhance parks for passive recreation, and nature based education programs in Geauga County. If you have ever visited Observatory Park, had a child participate in Nature Scopes (5th Grade), or joined the Geauga Skywatchers Club, then you have directly benefited from the work of the FGP. You can find out more about the organization here: http://www.foundationforgeaugaparks.org/

The fundraising goal for this campaign is $25,000 and we are already over 20% there! 

Hope to see you all in the parks and on the trails in October!
