Walking With Purpose

 

What is Walking With Purpose?

Walking With Purpose is a month-long challenge to walk, as a community, a total of 12,000 miles to raise awareness and funds for the mission of CIS: to empower students to success. Each mile has meaning: we walk in honor of the students who are working toward a brighter future. During the month of October, 40 or more teams will log in mileage for a total of approximately 275 miles per team. Teams may choose to walk together, on their own or a combination over the course of the month. Though each team has a suggested goal, we will work together to ensure the goal is met. We all share the same final goal: to empower students to success.
