The First Day of School 100-Mile Challenge Round 2

It’s time for Round 2 - another 100-mile challenge! Please join our community of supporters as Andy attempts another 100-miler, this time in the mountains of central Pennsylvania, on August 10th, 2024, at the Eastern States 100. We raised just shy of $10,000 last year, which went towards the construction of 2 adaptive playgrounds, and this year’s goal is to make it over last year’s total so that we can continue our work, connecting students and classrooms with the resources they need to thrive.

Please consider either a 1-time donation or a per-mile pledge. And keep in mind, this race totals out at just over 103 miles, with somewhere around 25,000 feet of elevation change over the entire course, so it is sure to be a significant challenge.

As always, we appreciate your continued support. Without you, we would not be able to do the kinds of work we do, helping kids, schools, and families. Even though Andy does the crazy running challenges, it’s you all who make the First Day of School Foundation really go. We appreciate everything that you do to help!
