Fall Benefit for Children's Rights

WHAT IS CHILDREN'S RIGHTS?

Children’s Rights is a 501c3 non profit organization that investigates, exposes and combats violations of the rights of children across the United States. We use every tool available under the law to hold governments accountable for keeping kids safe and healthy.


WHEN IS THE 2020 CHILDREN'S RIGHTS CHALLENGE? 

The Challenge is October 10th – 23rd, 2020 followed by a celebration Benefit on November 18th.


WHAT IS THE CHALLENGE?

Approximately 50,000 people around the country will walk, run, swim, bike, or do any fitness activity of their choosing to log a joint 500,000 hours during a two week period, each hour representing one of the half million children in foster care in the United States. Each individual participant will need to do 10 hours of fitness over two weeks to help meet our goal. Your fitness hours must be logged on the Strava app to count towards the Challenge.
