Our Story
This fundraising area is all about slowing racers down. Every time we hit a new giving level in this space, the racer in question has to slow down even more. We will do our best to mark in red what level the racer is powered-down to!
$1 Power Down: The world is such a hectic place! Have a seat for 15 minutes and just...have a think.
$250 Power Down: Everything else, plus: what’s hot at the library? Head over to the library and ask a librarian. Be sure to tell the library how much you appreciate their recommendation! Then, give it a read.
And a review on GoodReads.
$500 Power Down: Everything else, plus: find a peaceful spot at Binn's Park and do 15 minutes of Yoga With Adriene. She’s so nurturing!
$1,000 Power Down: Everything else, plus: it = bonnet time (sing it like “Hammer Time!”). We’re going to need you to find a bonnet and wear it. For the rest of the race.
$2,000 Power Down: Everything else, plus: for the rest of the contest, every time you meet a person you must introduce yourself as an expert in the TV show One Tree Hill. Like: “My name is X, I’m an expert in the TV show One Tree Hill.”
$2,500 Power Down: Everything else, plus: is this the worst of all power-downs? Maybe. But. Walk to the nearest coffee shop. Sit down. And spend 30 minutes drinking a decaf latte. DECAF!!!
$3,000 Power Down: Everything else, plus: call a friend, or an Uber, and head exactly two miles farther away from Tellus than you are right now and then get back to walking.
That’s…a bummer.
$5,000 Power Down. Everything else, plus: you're going to need to find someone who speaks French. Like, in-person. Then use Google Translate or something similar to discuss the weather with that person. Don’t forget to tell them about your TV show!
$10,000 Power Down: Everything else, plus: you’re going to have to get in an Uber and go another 5 miles away from Tellus.
$21,000 Power Down: So sorry! You’re going to have to call an Uber.
And go to an airport.
And fly to California.
And come back.
