Got a New Year's Resolution to Get in Shape?

(Reposted from The Gracias Foundation, now called Global Gratitude Alliance)

Getting in shape for the New Year?  Double your impact: Get fit and make a difference!

Sign up for a race and fundraise for grassroots projects helping women and children.  Whether it's a 5k, half marathon or hiking challenge, your commitment will keep you motivated during those cold winter training days!  

Set up your campaign and collect donations directly to our PayPal account with our nifty fundraising widget.  Share with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.

Not the athletic type?  Get your creativity on!  Here are some ideas:

• Party:  host a wine tasting, dinner party, or karaoke night. Charge an entrance "donation"
• Birthday pledge:  ask for donations in the amount of your age, in lieu of gifts  
• The annoying bunny:  ask a colleague to wear a bunny suit to the office. Coworkers donate $5 each for the bunny to follow around a top manager for 5 minutes each.  The manager has to donate more than the total pot of donations to make the bunny go away!
• Talents & hobbies:  bake cakes, take photographs, teach dance or yoga, and ask for donations in lieu of your service
