Pleasant View’s June 50th Anniversary Activity: 50 Miles for 50 Years

Join Pleasant View, Inc. in the month of June for Pleasant View’s 50 Miles for 50 years activities.

Pleasant View’s 50th Anniversary Committee invites individuals we support, staff members, friends, family and community members to participate in our June 50th Anniversary Activity: 50 Miles for 50 Years. Help us keep the 50th Anniversary celebration going this month by participating in some of the meet-up opportunities to walk in beautiful accessible locations or other enjoyable locations you choose on your own. Participation requires no fee, but donations are welcome. You can join as a team of 4 to 6 people. We ask that at least 4 team members be consistent. This will allow for 4 individuals we support to be part of a team, but the staff members in the team can change to include whoever is working on the date of the activity. You can also log your miles as an individual participant. You can’t count the same miles for individual miles if you have also counted them as part of a team and vice versa. For more information about our five weekly accessible meet up walks in June, go to this webpage or download our invitation here.

Creativity in how you achieve this challenge/goal in honor of Pleasant View’s 50th Anniversary is encouraged. You can walk, use a wheelchair, bike, kayak, jog, run, or any combination of mobile physical activity for 50 miles (no motorized vehicles other than motorized wheelchair). Please keep track of your miles on the 50 Miles for 50 Years June Activity log Click HERE to download and submit it along with photos to be entered into a drawing to win prizes. Text or email pictures with the name of participants, activity, and location to Pam Miller at (540) 560-1134 ([email protected]) and we will share it on our social media. You can also post it to your social media with #PVI50 .
