HOUSTON, Sept. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DHS Group (Dynamic Health Strategies) is thrilled to announce the launch of the Meaningful Miles: Fundraising Activity Challenge program. The program, which utilizes DHS Group's Move platform, gives nonprofits and other organizations the opportunity to take advantage of the growing fitness tracker market by hosting virtual group activity challenges that engage their supporters and motivate them to lead healthier daily lives – all while raising funds for their cause.

"Many organizations use races and events to raise money," DHS Group CEO Jim Pritchett said. "While fun and successful, these races are a lot of work, require the mobilization of large volunteer forces and can usually only happen once per year."

"It's a logical next step to use our Move platform to help organizations raise funds through virtual challenges that enable people across the world to participate and get involved throughout the year, and the software does all the work. We're passionate about helping groups engage their donors and encourage movement, all in the name of raising money to support the cause that's most important to them."

Implementing a Meaningful Miles: Fundraising Activity Challenge is easy and includes opportunities for customization; including choosing a participation fee (based on the goal amount of money to be raised) and length that best works for the organization. DHS Group also offers groups the opportunity to utilize unique landing pages, social media support and customer service management. During the challenge, participants, who can utilize any of more than 40 compatible fitness trackers, can access the online challenge dashboard, hosted by Move, to see real-time feedback on activity towards the goal and interact with other participants and administrators as they record steps to raise funds and awareness for their cause.

Organizations interested in finding out more about how to engage donors, encourage movement and raise funds by hosting their own Meaningful Miles: Fundraising Activity Challenge should visit www.dhsgroup.com/fundraising-challenge.
