Wander Project On Track for Record Season 

Wander Project, the nonprofit behind turning passion into purpose, is on track for a record-breaking year. The U.S.-based organization brings events and individuals together with a peer-to-peer fundraising platform. So when someone wants to run, walk or hike an endurance event, they can raise money for a charity they care about while doing it.

2022 was a great year, but with a few changes, 2023 will break records.

For the 2023 season, over 210 people have registered as charity bibs. New for this year, charity bib participants can choose an official nonprofit partner or a charity of their choice. By choosing the causes that deeply matter, charity bib participants are already raising more money than seen in years past, with some individual fundraisers raising over ten and twenty thousand dollars already.

The records won't stop there; Wander Project brought on four new event partners to an already robust lineup, now offering over 30 events to choose from. In addition to new events, they've doubled volunteer opportunities from two in 2022 to four in 2023. We can't wait to see the season unfold. If you want to join in all the fun, register here.

About Charity Bibs: 

A Charity Bib can turn a fun event into a meaningful contribution to a cause you care about. If you register as a Charity Bib instead of regular registration - you agree to raise a minimum amount for the charity you want. When you register, you'll see there a no registration fees for charity bibs, BUT you're committed to raising funds instead. Then you start fundraising! We'll support you every step of the way with tools, resources, and templates. When race/event day arrives, you get to celebrate crossing the finish line and supporting your favorite nonprofit with a financial gift.
