Editorial: Join the Challenge! The 2025 AT Summer Fundraiser Kicks Off!
This August, we’re inviting you to support Adventist Today’s mission of accessible, independent journalism and honest dialogue within the Adventist church by participating in the #ATSummerChallenge. You have the opportunity to get involved by sponsoring one of our unique challenges, or by creating your own sponsored activity—whether it’s running a 5K, hosting a bake sale, or taking on a personal reading goal—and donating the proceeds to AT.
I’ll be lacing up for a hilly and sticky “marathon most days” running challenge from Pisa to Monte Carlo, covering over 220 miles starting Sunday, August 3. Each step I take is powered by your support and your belief in open, vibrant discussion within our Adventist community.
But that’s just the beginning! You can also choose to back one of these unique challenges from two Adventist Today friends:
- AT board member Cherri-Ann Farquharson will share a brand-new, captivating photo every day in August from her visual exploration of the Caribbean. Sponsor her daily images and let her vivid photos fuel AT’s work and spark your sense of wonder.
- AT board member Heather May is serving up a daily culinary adventure. Each day brings a delicious, much-loved recipe. By supporting her, you’ll help fill Adventist Today’s table with high-quality reporting—while maybe expanding your own kitchen repertoire!
Of course, you can simply donate directly at atoday.org/donate—every gift empowers the independent journalism and community engagement Adventist Today stands for.
Your participation—whether by backing one of our challenges, creating your own or simply making a donation—does more than support great content. It’s a commitment to open conversation, fresh perspectives, and a church community that grows stronger together.
Let’s make August a month of action and inspiration. Join the challenge today!
