Mini Events

Mini Events are stand-alone events that you can organize to raise money to support the Hope in Motion Walk. In addition to raising money, they are also a fun way to come together as a team.

Let your imagination run wild! While these ideas can help get you started, you can also get creative and come up with your own Mini Event idea.

And if you’d like to support other Mini Events, please check out our Mini Events calendar to see what’s happening.
