GAPS Sole Train
Phase 1
Hitch a Car to the GAPS Sole Train!
Create a Passenger Car to "hitch" to the GAPS Sole Train and you become the Conductor! As a conductor, ask family, friends, and coworkers to donate to your Car and to the Greenville Area Parkinson Society. When they donate, they will become "passengers" on your Car! (Donation details below.) Encourage them to join you in the Trek For Tokens Challenge (details below) to help earn tokens for your Car!
IT'S EASY!
​
-
To create a Passenger Car and become a Conductor, click the button below to fill in the online form. Don't forget to come up with a fun name for your Passenger Car (ex. Chuck's Chuggers).
-
-
If you don't want to create a Car, simply donate to another Car and become a passenger on someone else's.
-
-
As your Passenger Car conductor, feel free to download the editable letter below. All you need to do is edit the blank or [bracketed] sections with your information. You can then print and mail to potential passengers, or cut and paste into an email.
The Challenge works in two ways:
Walking and Donating
-
Start moving and walk your soles off! Begin tracking the number of steps or miles you walk (or run) between March 1st and April 23rd.
-
-
It takes about 2,000 steps to walk 1 mile or 10,000 steps to walk 5 miles.
-
-
For every 10 miles that the members of your Car walk, your Car earns a token.
-
These "tokens" will be tallied up and contributed to your Car's overall score at the GAPS Member Celebration and Sole Train Awards! The Car with the most miles will win the Total Tokens Award.
To submit your miles during the Trek For Tokens Challenge, you may personally contact your Conductor or you can simply use the button below to fill out an online form. The GAPS Staff will also send you periodic reminders to keep walking and submit your miles.
START DONATING TODAY!
To make a donation online, use the DONATE NOW button (below) or you may mail a check.
