What Exactly is Pets in the Classroom’s Miles for Smiles Virtual Wellness Challenge?
The Miles for Smiles Virtual Wellness Challenge is an 8-week opportunity to join us as we take a virtual trek across the country! From June 22, 2022 to August 19, 2022, log the miles you run, jog, walk, or bike. With your help, we’ll travel from coast to coast! Participate by yourself or create a team and do it together! Have fun enjoying some physical activity outdoors (or indoors) while raising funds for the Pets in the Classroom grant program!
Why Participate?
By generating support and giving to the Pet Care Trust, you provide funding to teachers to create educational opportunities in the classroom through animal interaction. Your gifts go directly toward teacher grants and scholarships through the Pets in the Classroom grant program and Dogs in the Classroom program.
You can donate independently or set up a personal fundraising page and raise funds for the Pet Care Trust by sharing your passion and page with your friends, family, colleagues, etc.!
