Bjorn to Run: 230 Miles from London to Paris for AT’s Summer Challenge Fundraiser
Dear AT Readers,
Summer’s here, and at Adventist Today, we’re launching our most innovative fundraising initiative yet: The AT Summer Challenge!
Every day, we at AT push boundaries to bring you accessible, independent Adventist journalism. Now, we’re challenging you to join our mission in a way that combines physical activity with supporting our crucial work.
Here’s how the August 9–18, 2024 AT Summer Challenge works:
1. Choose Your Challenge: Pick a physical feat that suits you. Run a 5K, take a daily walk around the block, or try a new exercise routine – all efforts count!
2. Get Sponsored: Ask your friends and family to sponsor your challenge, with proceeds going to the AT Summer Challenge. Every dollar raised directly supports AT’s mission of fostering open dialogue in our church.
3. Share Your Journey: Use #ATSummerChallenge on social media to inspire others with your efforts.
Now if this all sounds like too much work, you might consider simply sponsoring our Executive Director Bjorn Karlman, who will be running the distance from London to Paris (230 miles) during our August Summer Challenge. Why not sponsor him for $1 or $10 per mile? He starts running from Big Ben in London this Sunday, August 11. Your support will fuel both his run and AT’s vital work.
Together, we can build a future where:
– Open dialogue becomes as common in our church as potlucks.
– Faith and reason coexist harmoniously, enriching our community.
– The next generation feels empowered to engage, ensuring our church stays vibrant and relevant.
Your participation, whether through your own challenge or by sponsoring Bjorn’s impressive run, makes a real difference. It allows AT to continue being a catalyst for meaningful discussions and fostering a more informed, engaged Adventist community.
Ready to take the challenge? Visit atoday.org/donate to sponsor Bjorn on his epic run or make a direct donation to the AT Summer Challenge fundraiser. Need assistance? Call us at 800.236.3641 or 503.826.8600 (outside USA).
Let’s make this summer count for accessible, independent Adventist journalism – and maybe improve our health while we’re at it!
With immense gratitude,
Loren Seibold
Executive Editor
