It's time to sign up for our 3rd Annual Trek-a-Thon!

Westminster Woods is worth sweating for! Whether building a playground or hiking to the ocean, the contributions of all those who love The Woods have enabled our ministries to continue. There is no better way to show your support than to hike with friends, enjoy beautiful scenery, and have an opportunity to share your enthusiasm for this place with your friends and family.

We will hike approximately 12.5 miles, from The Woods to Shell Beach on the Pacific Ocean on Saturday, September 25, 2010, starting at 8 a.m. New this year, we are also offering a 3 mile hike from Pomo Canyon campground to Shell Beach. Meet at Shell Beach at 11 am and we will shuttle you to the campground.  

After the hike, we will wrap up the day back at The Woods with a dip in the pool and a delicious spaghetti dinner with friends and family.

This year we are offering fundraising incentives:

• Particpants who raise $150 or more will receive a Westminster Woods bracelet
• Raise $500 and receive a water bottle
• For $1000 or more, participants will receive a Westminster Woods hooded sweatshirt

In order to qualify for a fundraising incentive, all funds must be turned into The Woods by Friday, October 1, 2010.

Helpful fundraising tips:

• Ask five new people to donate funds to the Trek
• Set a goal - Challenge yourself to raise $100 more than you did the year before
• Hold a carwash or bake sale and donate the proceeds to your fundraising efforts.
• Thinking about a garage sale?  Raffle off some of the nicer items and donate the results to the Trek.
• Ask people to sponsor you by the mile: $5 per mile adds to up to $60. If five people sponsor you, that adds up to $300!
