Two Great Ways to Get Fit this Fall and Support BUGS!

Get fit and support BUGS. Here are two great options:

#1 Sign up for TGB (Tech Gives Back) Fit & Fundraise Challenge

The TGB Fit & Fundraise Challenge is a virtual fitness challenge sponsored by Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) that encourages volunteers to get active. By syncing or logging your activity, you unlock donation milestones that will help BUGS and other not-for-profits receive funds from SVB, up to $10k!

 We hope our families, friends, teachers, and students will sign up for the TGB Fit and Fundraise program! Login before October 15 and your steps and physical activity (whether it's a walk, at-home workout, yoga, cycling, hike or even a fun day outside with the family) will unlock donation milestones from SVB for BUGS and other not-for-profits. 

A big shoutout to BUGS board member Jamal Deek who made it possible for BUGS to participate in Tech Gives Back (TGB).
