The Atacama Crossing is a grueling 155-mile ultramarathon through the world’s driest desert, pushing participants to test their endurance and resilience. Ryan Foss, a Bolder Options staff member, is taking on the challenge of crossing this tough terrain to raise money and awareness for Bolder Options. His journey embodies the perseverance, grit, and determination we instill in the youth we mentor, inspiring others to push their limits and pursue their goals while supporting our mentoring programs.
2024 Bold Challenges
The BOLD Run was a remarkable 193.21-mile journey across Minnesota, undertaken by Ryan Foss, Bolder Options' Donor Relations Director, to mark his 50th birthday. His goal was to raise $20,000, recruit mentors, and increase awareness for Bolder Options' Youth Mentoring Program. Along the way, he ran through diverse landscapes, dodged dogs, and braved blistered feet, ultimately raising $21,980 in support of Bolder Options' mission.
A heartfelt thank you to our volunteers who raised funds for the 2024 Charity Partners and participated in the Twin Cities 10 Mile or Marathon in support of Bolder Options! They raised $5,020 and garnered support from 94 donors.
