2020 Geauga Trail Challenge
What: Geauga Trail Challenge is a peer-to-peer fundraiser. Park supporters set personal or team goals to walk, run, or ride (bike or horse) while appealing to friends and family to join your team activity and/or contribute to your fundraising goals.

Where: In your nearby parks, neighborhoods, or your own backyard.

Who: Park lovers across Geauga County and beyond.

Why: Foundation for Geauga Parks is the only philanthropic nonprofit organization in Geauga County dedicated solely to raising money for any and all parks in Geauga, be they township, community, or county parks. This activity is being held in lieu of the annual Twilight Soiree fundraising event, canceled this year because of COVID 19.

 

How: There are several ways to participate:

1. Register as a fundraiser. Set a fundraising goal and a personal challenge to complete during the month of October. As a fundraiser, you can create a team, join a team, or sign up as an individual fundraiser and then ask your friends, family, and colleagues to support your efforts.
2. Register as a non-fundraising participant. You can register additional friends and family members to join you in your challenge. You can also choose to make an optional donation but you do not have to commit to a fundraising goal.
3. Simply visit the event website to make a donation to the Foundation for Geauga Parks.
