Question

You are serving as the chair for your community's annual wellness campaign. A key event is the annual Walk 3k, Run 10k, Ride 20k event. The event is staged entirely by volunteers and the goal is to attract community-wide awareness of getting active as a key step to wellness. In other words, the goal is not to raise money, but to prompt awareness. As the chair, you set a financial goal to break even on the one and only cost of the event, a fitness bag with the community seal and the event motto, “I AM ON THE RIGHT TRACK!”
