Citizen Effect 30-Day Challenge begins July 1st!

The DC yoga community is coming together over one incredible cause, building a foster home for children in South Africa. The goal of this movement is to raise $25,000 to match the funds already contributed by The Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project. The total money raised will support a local NGO in South Africa dedicated to caring for orphans, abandoned and vulnerable children.

How It Works:
1. JOIN
Donate $30 to Citizen Effect and challenge yourself to 30 days of yoga! You will receive a pass to track your practice that can be used at participating studios in the DC area. Sign up by visiting: https://citizeneffect.org/yogachallenge

2. COMMIT
Pledge your fundraising goal!
Sign up at: http://citizeneffect.org/cp_applications/new and complete “I pledge to raise $___ during my 30-Day Yoga Challenge” in the comments box.

3. CONNECT
Ask your friends and family to sponsor your challenge using your Citizen Effect project page! Citizen Effect will provide you with your own fundraising page with information about your project so sponsors can donate online and track your progress.

4. IMPACT
Change the lives of orphaned and abandoned children in South Africa! 100% of funds raised, less credit card fees, will be used to build a foster home in South Africa. To learn more about the children and this project, visit: http://www.citizeneffect.org/projects/yogachallenge
