Participant Checklist

STEP 1: Create a Fundraiser

Now that you’ve registered for an F4F event, it’s time to build your fundraising page on Venture Miles.
Create an account or log in to your existing account at venturemiles.org
Click the  ☰  menu button, go to Challenges, and find Fathers for the Fatherless. Click "Join" and fill out the form.
Make sure to select the event you're participating in under the event dropdown.

STEP 2: Share Your Fundraiser

When you tell your community what you’re doing and why, your physical sacrifice on behalf of others will inspire people to donate. Here are some practical tips to get started.

BE YOUR FIRST DONOR

Visit your fundraising page and make the first donation. Whatever amount you choose is great, and it tells your donors you're all in!

MAKE YOUR FIRST ASK

The first ask is always the hardest, so start by asking someone you’re close to. Tell them you’re running to raise money to help kids without fathers, and ask them to support your fundraiser.

GET MOVING!

Share a pic or video while you’re training. When people SEE your sacrifice toward a cause you care about, they will feel moved to give.
Remember, people want to support you. You just have to ask.

STEP 3: Cross the Finish Line & Log Your Miles

Join us on race day and cross that finish line knowing your miles have forever changed the lives of fatherless kids. Then, sign into Venture Miles and log your miles to show you finished the race. This will trigger donations from any per-mile pledges to your fundraiser.
