MyBGCM50 - Joe Carney's Grand Canyon Challenge
Through the MyBGCM50 movement, we are challenging our supporters
to do something extraordinary for BGCM's 50th anniversary. Joe Carney is
answering this challenge by attempting a double crossing of the Grand
Canyon, also known as running rim to rim to rim. Joe Carney
Along with 12 other runners of varying experience, Joe will run
approximately 48 miles consisting of around 11,000 feet of elevation
changes and the temperature will range from the mid-30's in the morning
to the mid-80's when crossing the canyon later in the day.
Joe
believes that such a daunting task should be coupled with great
motivation, so he chose to dedicate his support to the BGCM. He hopes to
raise $100 for every mile for a total of almost $5,000 which would
sponsor 10 kids' memberships to the BGCM for a year. Your pledge of $1 per mile would sponsor a member to the Club for a month! Knowing
that his venture will open doors for Memphis youth motivates Joe's
BGCM50!
Cheer Joe on by sponsoring a child or making a one-time pledge:
It's our birthday - Help us party all year long!
