The Bike & Hike Thing…at Home!

Registration fee is $20/person or $50/family. This covers your t-shirt cost.

October 1st launches our month-long “Bike & Hike Thing” event to raise money for Daystar and spread purpose throughout the local community. Upon registration, participants receive a Bike & Hike Thing game board with milestones and challenges marking their route to raising $1000+ for Daystar. These challenges include giving back, getting creative and encouraging others with random acts of kindness. Participants ask their friends and families to sponsor them so that Daystar can continue offering counseling to over 2,000 children annually regardless of their family’s ability to pay. While we will not be holding an in-person ride or hike, participants will still be biking and hiking up throughout the month of October to “keep Daystar rolling.” Our hope is to have an in-person celebration on October 31st, but details will be determined closer to the event date.

Step 3: Fill-in-the-blank with your own creativity on a couple spots we've left blank for YOU...Come up with your own ideas for making a difference during October. Now you are ready to put your mile marker on START. As you fundraise, move your mile marker along the game board and complete the challenges that come your way.  Step 4: Create your fundraising website that includes your fundraising letter with a heartfelt message about why you are fundraising for the kids at Daystar and why you love "the little yellow house that helps people." Set your fundraising goal, shoot for $1,000 or MORE?!

Step 5: Ask friends and families to sponsor you so that Daystar can continue offering counseling to over 2,000 children annually regardless of their family’s ability to pay. Share your fundraising letter via email, text or snail mail. Spread the word about the work of Daystar and how others can be a part! Step 6:  Get ready to celebrate...The countdown to October 31st is on! While we will not be holding an in-person ride or hike for 2020, we will still be biking and hiking up throughout the month of October to “keep Daystar rolling” and see if we can reach our $100,000 fundraising goal TOGETHER! Our hope is to have an in-person celebration on October 31st with prizes awarded to our most FUN fundraisers, but details will be determined closer to the event date.

Each year, we gather a small but mighty team of riders and hikers that are committed to cheering on the work of Daystar and raising support. Whether it's heartfelt letters to family, personal calls to friends, bake sales or car washes or magic shows...We've seen some of the most FUN fundraising around! Plus, this year we’ve added lots of fun challenges and opportunities for you to give back to your community! Each participant receives their own custom B&H thing game board to track their fundraising progress, and give back along the way.
