We hope to have 100% participation in 2022 in order to beat that amount, so start early and get creative. We know you can do it! Be sure to share your Above & Beyond Challenge stories with us on social media and take advantage of our Salsa fundraising tool to help you meet your goals. We will also count sponsorships that are a direct result of your team’s participation towards your Above & Beyond fundraising total. Just be sure to let us know (i.e. family business, gym parent company, etc).

All Above & Beyond donations are due February 4, 2022. Please mail any Above and Beyond checks to Unite for HER, 127 E. Chestnut Street, West Chester, PA 19380.
