Miles for a Mission

Support the ministries of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet and join the Ministries Foundation in our "Miles for a Mission" fitness fundraiser! 

This year the Ministries Foundation encourages you to join us in getting outside, having fun, and supporting the ministries at the same time.

• On August 9 our Executive Director, Ralph Scorpio, will bike from St. Paul, MN to the shores of Lake Michigan (~400 miles!) to raise money for the Ministries Foundation. Pledge to support him with a dollar amount per mile - $0.10, $0.50, or $1.00 per mile.
• Then, from September 21 - 23, Mike Farrell will be raising money for St. Mary's Health Clinics by climbing Mount Whitney (the highest point in the contiguous United States - 14,494 feet!) and biking to Death Valley (the lowest point in the contiguous United States - a total trip of 107 miles!). 

 
Want to support them or get involved with your own fitness challenge? Our goal is to have 10 fitness challenges - only 7 more to go!

There are two ways to get involved:

1. Pledge to support Ralph or Mike in their fitness challenges: scroll down to the next section and click on Ralph or Mike's fitness challenge pages. Or check out any other fitness challenges!

2. Help us build community and participate in your own fitness challenge, no matter how big or small! Click on the "Sign Me Up!" button below and name your fitness challenge fundraiser. Are you going on an epic hike? Participating in a 5k or longer race? Swimming across a lake with friends? Fill out your information and your challenge will be reviewed and approved. After that all you need to do is edit your page (easy to do - read this article and watch a video) and get people to pledge you per mile, per foot, per minute... or one amount!

Any gift, of any size, will have a lasting positive impact on the people our ministries serve and support every day. 

Don't forget to share your progress using #milesforamission on social media and tag the Ministries Foundation from any of the below:

We are excited to have you join us in supporting the ministries and making a difference in the lives of our community members!
