The event includes a fundraising element called the "175 for 175" challenge, in which supporters are asked to raise $175 each. Example approaches noted are five friends giving $35 or sharing a social post. Funds support YMCA programs that provide safe places after school, caring mentors, health and wellness opportunities, and financial assistance for families.
Organizers note opportunities for sponsorship and for volunteering to help with race day operations. Volunteer roles and sponsorships are managed by the organizing groups rather than individual contacts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
