"As we embark on our 26th Annual Hike for Hope, we are reminded of the power of community and compassion," stated Carrie Masters, CEO of St. Joseph the Worker in a news release.

With a goal of raising $100,000, SJW has implemented a friendly competition leaderboard on the event page, which highlights the top fundraisers. Hike for Hope participants can register and make donations as individuals or teams. The top two individual fundraisers will be given prizes. Teams are also encouraged to come in costume. The best team costume will receive a catered lunch for 10 by Helpings Cafe, a social enterprise that helps end homelessness in our community.
