We’re holding our annual community Plank-a-thon to benefit Loaves and Fishes and other local food pantries.
100% of the funds raised go to our neighbors in need.
What is a Plank?
A plank is a full-body exercise that, when performed correctly, can be very beneficial to improving core strength. It is very tough to sustain for long periods of time!
What is the Plank-a-thon?
Participants hold the plank position for their desired length of time (for as long as they can).
In the weeks leading up to the event, KAM coaches can teach you how to plank safely and effectively.
Participants choose the date of their plank to be performed at their own home between May 17th and May 28th OR at our Group Plank on May 17th at The Prescott
School Community Center in Groton, MA.
All funds raised must be turned in by May 29th to Kerry Ann (that's me!) or the food pantry of your choice.
Checks should be made payable to the food pantry.
For online donations, include a note to your food pantry that the funds are part of Plank-a-thon and can be included in the total amount raised on your sponsor sheet.
How are the funds raised?
Participants gather funds either by sponsoring themselves or asking family and friends to sponsor them, similar to participating in a walk or run for charity. Sponsors can pledge by the
second or minute of your planking time or make a flat-rate donation.
How is the money used?
100 % of the money raised goes to our local food pantries. The food pantry can use this money to purchase food at the Food Banks in larger cities. The pantry can buy 5 lbs of food
for every dollar you raise. The more money you raise, the more families you can help.
