We are hosting The Walk Around The Christel House World in memory of Christel DeHaan

Dates:   October 1 – 31, 2020

It is a virtual walk for our friends and supporters in the timeshare industry to honor Christel’s memory and help our Christel House kids.  Here’s how it works:

• Tomorrow, we will send out an email invitation to all of our timeshare supporters with a link to our virtual walk site.  We will also promote it via social media channels and some of our wonderful sponsors are promoting it within their companies as well.
• It will function much like a traditional walk – walkers sign up on our site and then ask friends and family to support their efforts
• Because it is “virtual” everyone will walk at home, in their neighborhoods, parks, the beach…anywhere where they can practice social distancing
• Our goals are:
  • Collectively raise $240,000 for Christel House
  • Cumulatively walk 15,940 miles – the distance between all of our Christel House schools (as the crow flies)
• During the month, we will have fun weekly games and contests to keep the walkers motivated
• We also have  very special playlist for the walkers that includes some of Christel’s favorite upbeat songs – who knew she liked John Denver and Michael Jackson!  It also will feature testimonials from some of our kids and messages the CEOs of our event sponsor companies
• Speaking of event sponsors, we are incredibly grateful to the following organizations and individuals:
  • Wyndham Destinations – our presenting sponsor
  • ARDA
  • ARDA-ROC
  • Holiday Inn Club Vacations
  • Lodging Kit Company
  • Bank of America
  • Extreme Graphics
  • Tim and April DeHaan and family
