The 2nd Annual ACES/DailyEndorphin Exercise 4 Education Challenge Raises over $15K!
The 2nd annual ACES/DailyEndorphin Exercise 4 Education Challenge is in the books. As a group, during the challenge itself we raised over $11,000, exercised nearly 80,000 minutes, and burned nearly 480,000 calories for ACES (“Athletes Committed to Educating Students”), a Twin Cities, MN after school mentoring & tutoring program. Including sponsorship & prize party raffle donations, we raised a total of $15,179, surpassing our goal of $15,000, which is a 95%+ increase over last year’s totals. Nicely done everyone!
