Compete 4 CMV

The National CMV Foundation launched Compete 4 CMV, our endurance event series, in June 2014 in an effort to generate awareness, raise charitable contributions and spark meaningful competition amongst friends, while urging others to be advocates for their health. Choosing to Compete 4 CMV means competing for yourself, inspiring your community, and raising funds for National CMV. You can help bring awareness to CMV as a Compete 4 CMV participant. Whether you run a marathon, bike cross-country, or host your own studio fundraiser. Upcoming events:

Endurance Events – funding research and education programs to support treatment, therapies and prevention, requires stamina and sustainability. Go the distance at an upcoming Compete 4 CMV endurance event:

  • 2019 Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic - Saturday, February 23 & Sunday, February 24, 2019 - Tampa, FL. We're honored to be a Race to Raise Booty Charity Program partner for this race. Click here to join the COMPETE 4 CMV team and start raising funds to support National CMV!

Studio Events– wherever you do fitness, you can make it a fundraiser! We have supporters across the country hosting events at spin, yoga and pilates studios, CrossFit gyms, and more. Partner with your local workout studio directly or contact us for help getting started. Upcoming events:

A few other ideas to get you started…                                                      

  • Start your own personal campaign by dedicating a birthday or other occasion to the National CMV.
  • Gather up friends and family by hosting a giveback fundraiser. Many local bars and restaurants will partner for charities for a giveback event – you bring in the crowd and they’ll give back a portion of sales – win-win! Checkout Groupraise for a list of possible partner restaurants. 
  • Get creative. Paint Nite offers a turnkey way to host a fun evening of fundraising with friends. Check them out!
  • Get your community involved by creating your own special event, like a walk, dinner, concert, or golf tournament. Use the National CMV fundraising platform to manage your event.
