Let's focus on what we still can do. We still can enjoy the out of doors. We still can look for ways to help others in our community. Because the Soroptimist Challenge lets you do both at the same time, we are extending the program registration date to June 30. Those who register by June 30 have until December 31 to complete their hikes.

The proceeds from the Challenge will fund next year's scholarships and educational programs. We hope those who are able to register will do so to support those important programs. This year we awarded more than $5,000 in cash awards through Live Your Dream, Dream It Be It and our new GED scholarship program. Will you help us give more in 2020-2021?

Whether you register or not, we invite you to find health and joy in the beautiful landscapes that surround us. For inspiration, check out our Challenge - Maps.
