Things of My Very Own

(opens in a new tab)

A 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization that helps children in crisis.

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝗪𝐚𝐥𝐤. 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬.

We are proud to once again be selected as a 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 in the 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝗪𝐚𝐥𝐤-𝐚-𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐧 this year. Our friends at Matthews Auto Group will donate $10 for every mile pledged, with up to $75,000 going to participating charities.

And because it’s virtual, you can walk anywhere. Your neighborhood. Your favorite trail. The treadmill. Even laps around the house.

It only takes two steps to get started: form.jotform.com/262235213593151
𝟏. 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 “𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫”
When the form asks “Would you like to:”, select:

☑ Register

This signs you up as a walker so your pledged miles can count towards our fundraiser.

𝟐. 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐲 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐎𝐰𝐧
When you reach “Charity of Choice,” be sure to select: Things of My Very Own (Schenectady)

This step is important: Selecting TOMVO ensures the dollars generated by your miles benefit the children and families we serve.

Then, make sure to follow through on your pledge on October 3rd!
