HOPE IN THE TIME OF COVID MARATHON
PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE FROM CALEN :
This year, COVID-19 struck our area pretty hard in March, which unfortunately for me, meant that my birthday party was cancelled. Not only did I lose the opportunity to celebrate with my friends, but I lost the opportunity to raise funds for a charity. You see, I ask my friends and family to give CB Cubed donations instead of a present and we pass them along to a charity of my choice. At first, I was so sad because my party was cancelled, but after I calmed down, my mom and I came up with a great idea. Instead of a party, we decided we will host a virtual run.
So this is where you come in.
Together we will help fund Hackensack Meridian Health to fight COVID-19. A few of my friends and I have made essentials that will we will include in our first marathon’s swag bag:
Masked Girl with Balloon Medal (Made in the USA)
Cotton Mask - Donation made possible by Handmade Mask Care Aid + tie dyed by CB Cubed Kids
Mask Lanyard - Donated by the Kim Family
Mini Organic Lip/Hand Salve - Donated by MalliCakes
Mini Slime - Donated by Sunflower Slime (Available on Etsy)
Bookmarks - Donated by The Cookie Press (Custom Cookies for NJ Orders)
Origami Sheets for Cranes
Racing Bibs - Donation made possible by The Bootery Closter (NJ)
Virtual Yoga Session (TBD) - Donated by LIYA METHOD YOGA
Once you order this swag bag, you run, walk, bike, or scooter your marathon and log it in the free log print out (scroll down for the link to printable sheet). When you are done with your marathon, please email a picture of your log to cb@cbcubed.org and we will email you your certificate of completion. Don’t forget to email a photo of you with your medal so we can upload pictures onto our website and/or tag us on IG and FB at #cb3hoperun #cb_cubed_foundation. You will run a full marathon of 26.2 miles. Yes, that seems like a long dragged out day/week/month/season of exercise, and you may feel like you have more important things to do but it really isn’t that bad! We suggest you walk 1 mile everyday and by the end of the month you will feel great and you will earn your medal and other goodies in your “swag bag!” You will be helping people through our cause while burning off some calories!
Origami - there is an ancient Japanese legend that says if you fold 1,000 cranes you will be granted a wish. That’s a lot of cranes for me to fold by myself. There are 100 kits so if we each fold 10 cranes, then together we can make 1,000 cranes and together we can wish for the end of this pandemic! Tag a photo of your 10 cranes at #cb_cubed_foundation #cb3hope1000cranes
Cotton canvas bag - we considered designing the backpack with either our logo or the masked girl with balloon but we decided to leave it as a blank canvas for you to draw on, tie dye, decorate with your favorite pines, leave blank, or whatever else you desire.
