The ShelterBox Challenge is a 2.5 mile adventure walk where you ask friends, family and colleagues to learn about and support ShelterBox’s mission of providing shelter, warmth and dignity to disaster survivors around the world.
On Saturday, June 11, families, Rotarians, businesses, Scouts, students, and other civic groups will come together for a day of fun activities to kick off the annual "Big Green Box Week" (BGBW).
