HOME Line’s Treadmill-a-Thon 2011 is scheduled from 7am June 13th through 11pm June 14th, 2011. This 2nd Annual Treadmill-a-Thon is dedicated to raise funds and awareness for our programming by broadcasting live on the web while fans of HOME Line spend 40 hours on the treadmill in 15-30 minute increments. Last year, 418 donors supported 89 runners and contributed $19,825 for our hotline, organizing, and advocacy work.
This year our goal is $40,000. Additionally, we’re excited to announce that the F.R. Bigelow Foundation has awarded a $20,000 matching grant to HOME Line based on the results of our Treadmill-a-Thon! This grant will match all new donors dollar-for-dollar, and will match any additional contributions from last year’s donors above what they gave in 2010. As a result of our new goal and this matching grant, HOME Line could raise $60,000 during this year’s Treadmill-a-Thon!
