It’s easy to register as an Individual solo hiker or to Start a Team of hikers on our Crowdrise page.
All hikers (solo individuals and hikers on a team) pledge to raise $50 to support Our Food, Our Right’s publication by asking their friends, family, co-workers, and community to donate just $5, or $10, or $15, or more to support great work.
Teams make an even bigger impact by getting together a whole group of hikers for a day of fun, each of whom will raise $50. Bonus points for witty team names! Crowdrise makes it easy to meet your pledge goal – it provides you with an individual fundraising page to send out to supporters, tracks donations, and some tools (CAGJ will also provide you with a fundraising toolkit as well).
