Celebrate Peaceful Elections in 40 Nations by Joining Our Facebook Walk Challenge

This October is your opportunity to raise funds, connect with an inspiring community, and support a cause that truly matters. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to the Carter Center family, your participation makes a meaningful difference.

Since 1989, The Carter Center has stood as a guardian of democracy, observing 128 elections across 40 nations and helping pioneer techniques that have become global standards for election observation and democratic engagement.

This October, we invite you to take on the 40-Mile Challenge in honor of the Carter Center’s work to advance fair and peaceful elections in 40 nations and counting. Complete the challenge at your own pace, in your own way, while raising funds to support programs that help strengthen democracy, protect human rights, and create lasting change around the world.

No matter your fitness level or experience, everyone is welcome. Every mile you complete and every dollar you raise helps advance the Carter Center’s mission to Wage Peace, Fight Disease, and Build Hope.

Along the way, share your progress, photos, tips, and stories with fellow participants. Your journey can inspire others to get involved and help keep our community motivated throughout the challenge.

Here’s how to get involved:

• Start your own fundraiser on Facebook by following the instructions here.
• Join the Facebook group, where we’ll share tips, motivation, and support to help you succeed.

Every step you take and every dollar you raise will help The Carter Center continue its work around the world. This October, make your miles matter!
