Charity Miles
To kick off the month before our Oakton Stake Relief Society Humanitarian Conference (April 26th), we would like to band together as a team to raise money for various charities. To participate, you will need a phone that you can use to download the Charity Miles app. And then the fun begins--you will need to walk, run, or bike outdoors!
Charity Miles is a free app that encourages you to raise money for charities while walking, running, or biking. All you have to do is select a charity and hit the ground running. As soon as you start moving, the app will track your mileage and will donate 10¢ per mile for bikers and 25¢ per mile for walkers and runners---up to $1,000,000 thanks to the app’s corporate sponsors.
Instructions:
1. Download Charity Miles app HERE.
2. Click on Sign Up.
3. Enter personal information.
4. Click the big green Sign Up button.
5. You will see a list of charities to choose from. But before doing this, click on the top left corner (3 parallel lines).
6. Click on "My Teams" and hit the + button in the top right corner and enter #oaktonstakereliefsociety and then click the green button ADD TO MY TEAMS.
7. Now you can go back to the charity menu, choose the charity of your choice and click on its icon.
8. Start walking, running, or biking. The GPS on your phone will track your mileage and record it for our team.
When you are done, swipe up to stop and press FINISH.
9. You are encouraged to tweet or "like" on Facebook the sponsor of your charity, but this is optional.
We will report how many miles for charity we racked up as a stake Relief Society at the Humanitarian Conference on April 26th.
See you there!
