Hello FB friends!
I’d like to invite everyone to participate in a yearlong charity event with our office.
It’s so easy to do and I think it would be a wonderful way for us all to connect, give back and do something that is good for us individually as well.
CharityMiles is one of the latest companies trying to initiate social change in a viable way. Rather than force people to change their habits, the app gives users a way to add charity to those everyday activities...users don’t even have to open their wallet thanks to the corporate sponsors and donations.
*You need to have a facebook or twitter account in order to participate and of course an android or apple phone that can download the app from your play store.*
The goal is to turn daily exercise into a charitable activity, not to make fitness a drain on your wallet. All those donations will come from corporate sponsors willing to foot your bill. Brands and corporations get to associate with great charities, users give to charity and stay healthy without spending a dime, and CharityMiles — a for-profit company — gets to keep a small corporate commission.
In order to donate the money after a workout, users must agree to post their activity to Facebook or Twitter. It’s a way to raise awareness for a cause, but also a way to promote the app — and the paying sponsor — through the social web.
The app is a basic distance monitor that relies on your phone's GPS to track your mileage. You simply choose from the available activities at the top of your screen, then swipe to select from a wide variety of very worthy causes!
To set up the app is a basic step by step process that is very easy and user friendly!
Join our team #waukeefamilydentistry. You can do this by opening the menu from the upper left corner of your screen and tap join team and then enter #waukeefamilydentistry. Once you’ve done this you can then tap on the team name and see how many miles we’ve accumulated.
We’ve chosen the Wounded Warrior Project as our charity of choice for this calendar year. You can choose a different one and still be a part of our team. At the end of the year we will tally up our miles as a group and our office will make its own separate monetary donation to the Wounded Warrior Project. We will post totals on facebook once a month to track our progress. Prizes will be given to those with the most miles in each category of biking, walking, and running.
Thank you,
Waukee Family Dentistry
