JSS Challenge 2023
We need your help to raise funds for JSS Operations! (Goal: $5,000)
SUN, JUNE 11, 2023 10AM～
We are pleased to announce the 3rd annual “JSS Challenge”, a fundraising event.
It was in 2021 that we held our first “Virtual Walkathon” in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. We were very fortunate to have a larger-than-expected number of people participate from many different locations.
This year, in addition to remote participation, we are planning a group walk starting from JCCC and a reception after the walk. We are truly hoping to meet many of you – donors, volunteers, service users, people who are interested in volunteering with us. If you are interested in community / social work, counselling, or related fields, please feel free to join us. We look forward to seeing you at this event, which will be attended by many of our staff and board members.
For remote or virtual participation, we will set a time limit of one hour, not distance, and each participant will walk or run at his/her own pace and in his/her own favorite place during that time. How many kilometers will everyone be able to walk? 18 people participated in last year’s event, walking a total of 87.7 km. Let’s try to break the 100km mark this year!
Your donation will be used to fund JSS operations and help us continue to provide high quality services.
