Thank you for your interest in being a Challenge Seeker! Stay tuned for information on our next Challenge Seekers campaign.
What is Challenge Seekers?
Challenge Seekers is an annual ZGiRLS fundraiser where supporters commit to both completing a 10K (6.21 miles) and fundraising $1,000+ to help support ZGiRLS’ programming.
As a 2024 Challenge Seeker, you’ll gain access to weekly virtual meetings in September to discuss training and fundraising efforts, as well as learn a ZGiRLS Curriculum™ topic! On September 29th, Challenge Seekers will use their physical and mental training skills to run/walk a 10K from wherever they are in the world.
ZGiRLS provides you with a training plan, a swag box, and fundraising templates to help you on your journey to crushing your goal!

You can complete your 10K in whatever way feels right to you, whether that be running, walking, crawling, or perhaps a combo of all of those.
If you would prefer not to complete a 10K but would still like to join the team as just a fundraiser, you can definitely do that as well!

Yes! We want this process to be as easy as possible for you. We provide you with email, social media, and text message fundraising templates that you can send to your network to help get donations.

Absolutely. We understand that everyone has busy schedules and you might not be able to participate in the weekly team calls. These calls are just meant to be a fun bonus to being a Challenge Seeker- a way to connect with the other fundraisers, cheer each other on, and learn empowering mental tools from the ZGiRLS Curriculum™. We always send out recordings of the calls the next day in case you want to see what you missed!
