RALLY FOR CROSS ROADS

The Rally for Cross Roads is an annual fundraising event for the Cross Roads Annual Fund. For the past five years, participants have come to camp for an all-night volleyball marathon to raise money to keep camp affordable for all. (You can see pictures and summaries of those events on our Facebook page.)

This year, we are shifting gears to allow participants to “rally” at home!

On Saturday, October 3, 2020 lace up your running (or walking!) shoes to take part in the Rally for Cross Roads Virtual Run/Walk. All ages and abilities are invited to participate. You can sign up to compete in the 5K race to earn a prize, or sign up for the family-friendly 2K fun run/walk.

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER!
All racing will take place on your own or with your families. We’re excited to see all of the routes people take! We encourage you to race on Saturday, October 3 between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. And be sure you follow Cross Roads on Facebook and Instagram to join in on the full weekend of virtual fun, including check-ins with participants around the state and a virtual campfire!

Set a Fundraising Goal

Recruit sponsors to help meet your fundraising goal! Friends and family can donate directly on your “participant” page or send a check to Cross Roads Camp and Retreat Center, 29 Pleasant Grove Road, Port Murray, NJ 07865.

$500 subsidizes the cost of one week of camp for a camper!
$200 would pay a staff member’s salary for one week of work!
$100 is the cost for one participant at a weekend retreat!
$50 can provide meals for one camper for one week of camp!

Your registration fee will also go directly to supporting Cross Roads and helping you meet your goal.

The individual who raises the most money by 9 p.m. on Saturday, October 3 will receive one week of camp to be used or gifted! So be sure to keep track of your supporters!

CLICK HERE TO DONATE

Purchase a Race Shirt

You can buy this year’s Rally for Cross Roads short-sleeve t-shirt to wear on race day! Visit https://oldlutheran.com/products/cross-roads-virtual-run-walk-t-shirt-preorder to order your shirt today.

Order your shirt by September 23 to wear it on October 3!

You don’t have to participate in the Rally to order a shirt! Donors, supporters, and all friends of camp are invited to order. This is another way to support Cross Roads and the Rally.

About the Cross Roads Annual Fund

The Cross Roads Annual Fund helps support our ministry’s recurring needs, as well as sponsors camperships so that all kids can come to camp. Even amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, the Cross Roads staff has worked hard to meet the needs of families in New Jersey. We know that when it’s safe to do so, the children and families of our community will need the ministry of camp now more than ever. As one parent said, camp fills the thirst in their child’s soul.

Help ensure Cross Roads is here for generations to come by participating in the Rally for Cross Roads or by sponsoring a participant today.
