What are we?
Challenge2Society has a very simple mission:  Inspire and Motivate the world to donate 1 Billion community service hours.

And while our vision is simple, it will take work to achieve it.  This site is a work in progress; it will allow us to gather as a community and find those causes that we are passionate about.

Please log on and get started, your time is valuable.
How we started The idea for Challenge2Society to inspire and motivate people has it roots in the USMC's Toys-For-Tots (T4T) program. For the years 1995-7, Steve Gardner (GySgt Gardner) was running the T4T program for roughly 1/3 of Virginia, and was able to partner with radio DJ Slam Duncan.

In the photo you see a RV suspended by a crane, where Slam and Steve broadcasted 24 hours a day asking the people of Roanoke to donate bikes; and Steve, Slam and Neil standing in the sea of donated bikes.
Who are we? Challenge2Society- is simply put, everyday people; It is you, me, your neighbor, your Neighbor's 15 year old child, and the retired school teacher that lives next to you.

Challenge2Society is all of us that still feel the desire to help; Although sometimes we simply don't know how to..

Chalenge2Society is without boundaries; we embrace the world's causes as easily as we help with the local book drive.
Russian Orphanage Helped Orphanage receives toys and hope... In July 2007, I had a chance to help a friend-  On this particular occasion I was studying Russian at Moscow state university (Moscow, Russian Federation) and a friend's son (who with his two brothers, was adopted from a Russian Orphanage about two hours drive of Moscow) wanted to try and find his birth-mother after ten years. So I offered to help any way that I could. Little did I know that this would be the catalyst to start the Challenge2Society Site.

We are Volunteers

I am asking for people to submit articles that can be placed on the Challenge2Society site highlighting volunteering efforts that we have done and to show the great work that our members are doing.

Looking forward to reading (and sharing) your good work.

 

 

 

Millions of Smiles

Well not quite a million... At least 10,000 smiles.

I'm hoping that a few people will have pictures from the Roanoke Valley "Bike-Or-Bust" event that I can put on the site.

Additionally, Im also looking for more pictures from the USMC mud run in Roanoke to put on the site.
