How to Stride

Step 1: Register
Click here to register online by October 3. You will provide contact information and let us know if you'll be part of a team. You will then have the option of creating your own personal online fundraising page. This will make it easier for you to collect donations through the web, via credit card. You'll be able to set a personal fundraising goal and add a picture and custom text about why you care so much about raising money for the animals. If you don't want to create an online fundraising page, you can still register online. Your registration is complete when you reach the page that says "Registration Confirmation." Please register by Friday, October 3 to be eligible for prizes.

Step 2: Collect donations
If you created an online fundraising page in step one, send the
link to your friends, family, co-workers - anyone you think will help you reach your goal.
