Final Reminder - Walk for Holocaust Education This May

 

 


 

We are ONE day away from the start of Journey For The Living — a national fitness challenge that builds awareness and raises money for Holocaust education. 

Beginning tomorrow, May 1st, walk, run, or ride at least 15 miles in May to represent the journey that Mark Schonwetter (a Holocaust survivor) walked in one night, along with his sister and mother, to escape the Nazis to a ghetto where they thought they would be safer.

There’s still time to sign up as an individual participant or team to support Holocaust education. By #TakingTheJourney, you will provide grants for educators to teach anti-hate initiatives, respect, and kindness to students nationwide.

 

 

 

We're Doing Something Special This Year: #TakeTheJourney

 

Throughout the Journey For The Living challenge, we’ll provide prompts for each mile of your trek to reflect and learn lessons about kindness and respect. We invite you to share your reflections on each mile by:

 

1) Tagging us on social media @MSHEFoundation

 

2) Sending us an email at info@mshefoundation.org

 

We look forward to hearing how #TakingTheJourney impacts you this month.

 

 

2024 Prize Levels:

 

 

The participant that raises the largest amount of money in May will get a $50 Amazon Gift Card.

 

The participant that walks the largest number of miles in May will get a $50 Amazon Gift Card.
