Event Description
Celebrate Older Americans Month with a tribute to an older person special to you!
Spring is around the corner, and there's no better time to get outside, get moving, honor a loved one, and support a good cause.
Run or walk in ETA’s Light A Spark 15 Day Challenge in honor of, or in memory of, a special older person who sparks love and memories in your heart. We'll mail a certificate acknowledging your tribute, to you or the person of your choice.
Set your own mileage goal for the 15 days, and log your progress here. Earn virtual "badges" along the way, and share your success with others — we’ll be cheering for you too! All proceeds benefit Empowering the Ages, a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting and empowering people from different generations.
