We hope by now you’ve started seeing information about Run for the Son 2021. We’re so excited to get rolling, but we know you might have some questions.
What does this mean for you and your students?
What do you need to know?
Is it still going to be a fundraiser for Student Missions and the Eric Petty Scholarship?
When do you find out about missions opportunities for 2021?
In years past, we’ve always announced mission trip requirements and details regarding Run for the Son and our other fundraisers at State of Radiate. And we will definitely be doing that again this year! So mark your calendars for January 10th and make plans to be there with your family.
If you are new to Radiate and have no clue what any of this is about … Welcome! Come to State of Radiate and you will learn so much about what opportunities and events Radiate Student Ministry has for our students, (including our International Student Mission Trips!).
But what can you do right now?
Run for the Son 2021 5K/10K is a missions fundraising event and registration is open! All students who wish to receive fundraising credit for this event will need to complete 2 requirements:
- They must have 10 runners/sponsors participate in the event. These can be In-Person Runners, Virtual Runners (new this year!) or Phantom Runners/Sponsors. On the registration forms there is a space for registrants to type the student’s name they are sponsoring.
- They will need to serve at Run for the Son. We’ll have several opportunities for service on multiple dates. Sign up for these opportunities will be at the State of Radiate Meeting.
Obviously we know there are a lot of challenges in making any kinds of plans for the future (it just is the way it is right now), but we are still moving forward with this event and we want students to have plenty of time to find their 10 runners in order to get credit for the event.
We have added an additional option to be a “Virtual Runner” this year so anybody, anywhere can run with us! And there’s still the Phantom Runner/Sponsor option for people who just want sponsor your student. It’s not too early to start working on sponsors!
No matter what happens in 2021, we know that the funds raised through Run for the Son will support student missions and we are praying that God will use all of it to spread his Good News.
