Transform Your Steps into Support: Join the You Move, We Mow Challenge!

Update Join the Movement: You Move, We Mow Challenge 2026 Excitement is building as Project EverGreen announces the return of its much-anticipated You Move, We Mow Challenge, which will take place from June 21 to June 27, 2026. This initiative falls during GreenCare for Troops Awareness Month and aims to transform everyday physical activities into significant support for military families. With the goal of honoring 20 years of service by asking each participant to commit to 20,000 steps, the initiative promises to ease some of the burden these families experience while their loved ones are deployed. Understanding the Impact of Your Participation As service members deploy, families at home face myriad challenges, including maintaining their homes and lawns. This responsibility can quickly shift from routine to overwhelming. By participating in the You Move, We Mow Challenge, individuals not only promote their own health through movement, but they also contribute to the well-being of military families by providing free lawn care services that ensure safe and healthy outdoor spaces. With each step taken, participants help fundraise crucial resources that aid: Expanding services to more military families in need Strengthening a growing national network of volunteer lawn and landscape professionals Delivering consistent, high-quality care for outdoor spaces families rely on every day Ki Matsko, GreenCare for Troops program manager, emphasizes the importance of this effort: “Every step taken in this challenge helps ease the load for a military family at home. It’s a simple act with a meaningful outcome—turning movement into measurable support.” Why You Should Participate The You Move, We Mow Challenge presents a unique and fulfilling opportunity to channel your physical activity towards a noble cause.
