Get ready for four unforgettable weeks of movement, motivation, and meaning. Whether you're stepping, fundraising, or spreading the word, there’s something for everyone — and prizes at every turn.
Welcome to the final week of STEPtember 26!
Week Four Challenge Winner: Shala Barnett
Week Four Challenge: 9/21-9/27
Week Three Challenge Winner: Paul Laudati
Week Four Challenge: STEPtember has never been a solo sport. Every step, every dollar, every share happens because someone else decided to show up for you. This week, let's put that spirit to the test.
The challenge: Get 10 people to donate $10 or more to your fundraiser by Sunday, September 27.
It doesn't take a huge ask. Ten people who care about you, giving what they can, adds up to real support for CPARF families working to access the tools they need. Think coworkers, neighbors, the group chat, your cousin who always says, "Let me know how I can help." This is how you let them.
Why it matters: A $10 gift feels small to give, but multiplied by a community, it becomes something powerful. That's the whole idea behind STEPtember: no one has to carry this alone.
Week Four Prize: Invite Your Friends Over
The winner gets everything needed to throw a get-together worth showing up for:
- $200 BJ's gift card: Fill the cart with snacks, drinks, and everything the group will crowd around.
- JLAB Pop Party Ultra-Portable Bluetooth Speaker: Music for the backyard, the park, or the kitchen dance party.
- Cotopaxi Kapai 1.5L Hip Pack in Del Día: Hands-free and colorful, for carrying the essentials wherever the party ends up.
- 10 entries into the Grand Prize Giveaway: Because a community that shows up for you deserves another shot at winning big.
The Challenge #4 Prize winner will be announced on Monday, September 28th.

The more you raise by October 2,
the more chances you have to win!
Only your personal fundraising total counts toward your entries — team or organizational totals don’t qualify. Here's how your total raised translates into entries into the Grand Prize Giveaway:
$100 = 1 entry
$250 = 3 entries
$500 = 5 entries
$750 = 8 entries
$1,000 = 10 entries
For every $500 increment after $1,000 you’ll receive 5 entries
When Your Friends Give to You
Your friends don’t need to create a fundraising page to be eligible for the Grand Prize Giveaway. Anyone who donates to your personal fundraising page by October 2 at 11:59 pm PT will earn their own entries — and their donation will count toward your fundraising total, too. Here’s how it works:
$250 = 1 entry
$500 = 3 entries
Winner Selection Details
All entries will be tallied, and a winner will be selected at random on October 6, 2026. No purchase necessary. Must be a U.S. resident to be eligible. CPARF staff, Board of Directors, Council of Governors, and their immediate family members are not eligible to win.
