Like other run/walks, HKE MKE is a benefit event. After registering, create an individual fundraising page or join a team fundraising page.  These pages can be easily shared through email and social media. Rally your family, friends, or coworkers to raise funds that earn you badges/prizes while connecting urban youth and adults to nature!

The FUN of fundraising!

This year we are making fundraising fun while minimizing our environmental impact. Instead of physical prizes, we’re offering prizes that connect you to urban nature and our community!

Prizes Available

 

Grand Prizes (by total amount raised) 

In addition to other prizes earned, the top two individuals or teams raising the most will get one of these three unique experiences:

Private Rock Climbing Wall Access

Urban Nature Secrets with Ken & Caitlin
