Charity Fitness Competitions

$215,000 raised for non-profits

Compete for Causes creates fitness competitions which encourage people to maintain a healthy lifestyle, support philanthropic causes, and engage and exercise with friends and family. You can join these competitions virtually on our app and compare your efforts to other participants or hold yourself accountable. We run several competitions annually and would be excited for you to download our app in the Apple App Store and join our mailing list to learn of our next competition.

HOW IT WORKS

Each competition requires a charitable donation to join, which can come the individual or a business sponsoring a broader team. Participants will be motivated to hit fitness goals, and performance will be measured on our app (i.e. which leverages Apple Health) and compared with others in a real-time leaderboard. You can participate under your name or a pseudonym if you like. You may become eligible for prizes along the way, but most importantly, if the group’s efforts throughout the competition hit pre-determined goals, you will have helped to unlock more fundraising dollars for charity!

Fitness goals are recommedned for you by age, gender, and weight, but in a challenge you may compete at five different levels, beginner to expert level.
