STRIDES FOR PRIDE

Strides for Pride is a week long challenge to fundraise and log 40 MINUTES OF ACTIVITY brought to you by Covenant House NJ. Run, walk, bike, dance.... why 40 minutes? 40% of young people facing homelessness identify as LGBTQ+. In fact, LGBTQ+ youth are twice as likely to experience homelessness. As part of the challenge, we ask you to set a goal of raising $120 for Covenant House, in honor of LGBTQ+ youth, who are 120% more likely to experience homelessness than their non-LGBTQ+ peers. The funds you raise go directly to providing food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, education, legal aid, and loving care to youth overcoming homelessness at Covenant Houses across the U.S., Latin America, and Canada. People can join Strides for Pride and do their activities anywhere. That means the sky is the limit for your Strides for Pride team! You can invite friends, family, and colleagues from anywhere in the world to join you in taking Strides.
