New this year: In-Person Relay from Hershey to State College!
This year, Hope From Coast to Coast is hosting a relay from Penn State Children's Hospital in Hershey to the Bryce Jordan Center the days leading up to THON Weekend (i.e., February 17-18, 2022). Participants will carry letters for the dancers from the children at the hospital and will run three legs of three to five miles. The top 15 fundraising individuals will be selected for the team on January 23, 2022. In-person participants can join the "In-Person Participants" team to start fundraising today!
The Virtual 46-Day Challenge!
Supporters from around the world can once again participate in the Hope From Coast to Coast 46-day challenge. As a community, Hope From Coast to Coast is setting a goal to collectively run or walk 3,000 miles in the 46 days leading up to THON Weekend (i.e., the average distance from coast to coast). Additionally, every participant is challenged to run or walk 135 miles in these 46 days, the same distance as the in-person relay from Penn State Children's Hospital in Hershey to the Bryce Jordan Center. Make sure to sign up before the 46-day challenge begins on January 2, 2022.
