Team CJ
You may want to consider joining Team CJ (CJSTUF.org) benefiting CJ’s Thumbs Up Foundation this year. We’ve seen lots of great work from this non-profit organization as they raise funds to help parents and children dealing with the expenses and hardships faced when childhood cancer strikes. They have a goal of 500 members for Team CJ – simply click on Team CJ and use the password ‘butterfly’ when you sign up.
Healthy School Challenge
You can also participate in the 10k Healthy School Challenge presented by the Virginia College Savings Plan too.
Join the 10k Healthy School Challenge and show how active your school is by rallying students to take part in the 10k on March 29, 2014. The middle and high schools with the highest percentage of students participating win cash! Click here for more information.
Registration and Training
