The Virtual Believe Walk, presented by Stater Bros. Charities and Inland Women Fighting Cancer, is offering opportunities to win up to $3,250 in prizes through participation in a fitness challenge, contests and registration for a live, virtual kick-off event. 
“These contests are a fun incentive to bring our community together in a positive way to raise awareness and excitement surrounding the Virtual Believe Walk. It’s also a way to say thank you for supporting our fundraising efforts that benefit programs and services at local cancer-fighting organizations,” said Nancy Negrette, chairman and president of Stater Bros. Charities. “Although we aren’t able to walk together this year, we can still come together in spirit and have fun while supporting this important cause.”
The Strava 5K Challenge encourages participants to walk, run or ride a 5K (3.1 miles) and share their activity in the Strava Believe Walk Club on the Strava mobile app. Those who complete the challenge are entered to win a $250 Stater Bros. Markets gift card. Two winners already have been selected and one more will be selected on Oct. 5.
A Best Believe Spirit contest and a Best Dressed Pet contest will provide the winner of each a $250 Stater Bros. Markets gift card. Enter the Best Believe Spirit contest now through Sept. 30 by submitting a photo of yourself in your best Believe Spirit attire. During the same time period, an uploaded photo of your pet in their best fun and festive attire will enter you into the Best Dressed Pet contest. Winners will be announced on Oct. 4 during the live Virtual Believe Walk Kick-off event which will be livestreamed on Facebook @believewalk and BelieveIE.com.
In addition to the challenge and contests, if you register to view the live Virtual Kick-off event taking place on Sunday, Oct. 4, at 9 a.m., you will be entered for a chance to win one of two $500 Stater Bros.

About the Believe Walk
The Stater Bros. Charities & Inland Women Fighting Cancer Believe Walk is a life-changing event that brings a community together to celebrate survivors, support those living with cancer and honor those we’ve lost. The Believe Walk supports the fight against all types of cancer in our community and we are committed to raising critical funds that support programs and services at local cancer-fighting organizations. Through the generosity of participants, donors and sponsors; the Believe Walk has invested more than $5.6 million in local cancer-fighting organizations to advance cancer care and support services in the community.
Stater Bros. Charities is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports critical needs in the communities where Stater Bros. employees live and work. Since 2008, Stater Bros. Charities has invested more than $34 million to local organizations and causes that benefit hunger relief, children’s well-being, education, health, help for our nation’s veterans and active service members. Funds are raised throughout the year from customers, suppliers and members of the San Bernardino, California-based Stater Bros. Supermarket Family.
