Steps to Connect – Run Walk Ride
Get ready for a fun challenge with your family and friends and connect with new people! Family Connection-Communities In Schools of Athens (FC-CIS) Steps to Connect Challenge will happen during the month of September.
Our goal is to reach and involve as much of our local community as possible but anyone, anywhere can join in.
Participants will challenge themselves to walk, run, or bike. They will select from three different mileage goals. Participants will be divided into teams to add some friendly and lively competition on a “participants only” Facebook group page. Team leaders will post encouragement to help you stay committed to completing your goal. Our hope is that the challenge will inspire everyone to get moving and outdoors. This event will be an important fundraiser for FC-CIS of Athens. FC-CIS is a partnership of organizations and individuals working together for the success of all in our community.
