The first annual Wings in Motion is a 2 month-long movement challenge that will be held every September & October to benefit Angels of Light, a nonprofit dedicated to assisting children and families facing life-threatening illness or whose life has been altered due to an accident or loss of life. This event is open to all ages and all abilities, welcoming everyone to participate in a way that feels right for them.

Throughout the month, participants commit to moving their bodies in whatever way brings joy and energy walking, dancing, stretching, running, yoga, sports, or any activity they love with a shared goal of completing 400 minutes of movement by the end of September. Every minute moved helps bring comfort, hope, and light to local families navigating unimaginable challenges.

Participants can track their progress, set personal goals beyond the 400-minute challenge, and share their journey with friends and family. Teams can support one another, celebrate milestones, and move together with purpose. EVERYONE WHO COMPLETES 400 MINUTES WILL RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION IN RECOGNITION OF THEIR COMMITMENT AND IMPACT.

Fundraising is not required, but participants have the option to raise funds and receive special incentives while helping expand support for the children and families we serve. FOR EVERY $250 RAISED, PARTICIPANTS CAN PLACE A PERSONALIZED LOCK ON OUR LOCKS OF LOVE TOWER IN HONOR OR MEMORY OF A LOVED ONE. FOR EVERY $1,000 RAISED, PARTICIPANTS WILL HELP MAKE THE HOLIDAY WISHES OF FOUR CHILDREN COME TRUE THROUGH OUR HOLIDAY GIVING PROGRAM.

Every step, stretch, and stride helps Angels of Light provide gifts for the holidays, assist with rent, clothing, food & other essential items.

Join us this fall as we move with intention, lift one another up, and spread light across the Hudson Valley one minute at a time.
