Start a fundraising team

Team Bo from Miles 2013.

A great way to raise money for Miles for Matheny is to get more people involved by starting a team. It could include members of your school, church, book club, running club—or it could be just friends and family. You can create a team registration page, train together, set team fundraising goals or even generate a friendly competition among team members to see who can raise the most money.

You can also create a personal or team webpage at www.milesformatheny.org to make your fundraising efforts easier. You can upload photos of you and your teammates, set fundraising goals and send emails to your friends and family, asking them to support you at Miles for Matheny.

Miles for Matheny is being held Sunday, June 1, at Liberty Park in downtown Peapack. Events include the Lu Huggins Wheelchair Walk, a 5K Road Race, five Cycling Routes, a Kids Fun Run and the “Breakfast of Champions,” provided by The Friends of Matheny. All funds raised will help support the Matheny Center of Medicine and Dentistry, which provides medical, dental and therapy care to Matheny inpatients and people with disabilities in communities throughout New Jersey.
