Every day, more than 25,000 people turn to the Red Cross for shelter, support, and hope. With Miles for Relief, youth across the country are showing that when we step up together, we can power relief and resilience.
Every dollar raised, every mile walked brings us closer to helping families in crisis. Join youth across the nation as we step up and power the Red Cross mission.
Open to youth and young adults, 13-24, who are registered volunteers in Volunteer Connection.
Participants can enter individually or as a group.
Step 1: Register as an individual or club.
Step 2: Share your fundraising page.
Step 3: Climb the leaderboard with every dollar raised!
Step 4: Walk for disaster relief.
$25 raised → 0.5 mile walked
$50 raised → 1 mile walked
