Trailblaze Challenge®
Discover the Trailblaze Challenge® – An Adventure for a Cause
Embrace the Great Outdoors and Make Dreams Come True
Join us for the Trailblaze Challenge®, a transformative hiking event that supports the incredible children of Make-A-Wish South Carolina. Whether you're a novice explorer or a seasoned trail veteran, this event offers a unique opportunity to challenge yourself, connect with nature, and profoundly impact the lives of children facing critical illnesses in our community.
What is the Trailblaze Challenge®? The Trailblaze Challenge® is more than just a hiking event—it's a community-driven journey of hope and resilience. Participants hike through some of South Carolina's most scenic trails, raising vital funds to grant the heartfelt wishes of local children. These wishes are not just gifts; they are powerful experiences that uplift families, bring joy to children, and unify communities.
It's a Journey, Not a Race - Our mantra, "It's not a race. It's a journey," captures the spirit of the Trailblaze Challenge®. There are no winners or losers here—only a group of compassionate individuals coming together to support a noble cause. Your participation means you're not just hiking; you're laying the groundwork for a brighter future for children in South Carolina.
