LIFETIME FUNDRAISNG LEADERBOARD:
BREAKTHROUGH LEAGUE MEMBERS

The Breakthrough League is reserved for active Distance Challenge participants. Fundraising completed through other Expect Miracles Foundation efforts, such as running a marathon, can count toward your lifetime total once you actively participate in the Distance Challenge. Just let us know so we can apply it correctly.

Lifetime fundraising totals are calculated using the email address tied to your most recent Distance Challenge registration. If you have changed companies or email addresses, please let us know so we can locate past records and ensure your total giving is accurate.

Tips from Top Fundaisers


“Don’t be scared and don’t limit yourself. I was blown away by how generous friends, family, and colleagues were when I started fundraising.” 
- Jeff Duckworth, John Hancock

“Fundraising is personal. When you share your story—why you’re supporting the mission and how the donations help—it often inspires others to share their own stories and get involved. Just ask, and don’t be afraid to ask again.” 
- Christine Chigounis, Bank of America Merrill Lynch

“Allspring's main approach is to generate excitement and to get as many people as possible involved. If everyone contributes a little bit—miles and dollars—it really adds up.” 
- Kevin Johnson, Allspring Global Investments
