Walk a Walgreens mile and earn money for charity

 

 

DEERFIELD, Ill. - Any biker, runner or walker participating in Walgreens' Balance Rewards program can now become corporately sponsored athletes working out for their favorite cause, thanks to a Walgreens announcement Tuesday regarding the newest Balance Rewards API integration, Charity Miles. 

 

Charity Miles is a free iPhone/Android app that enables users to earn money for charities. Walgreens users can also earn Balance Rewards points by connecting their Charity Miles and Walgreens accounts.

 

"We're thrilled to partner with Walgreens," stated Charity Miles founder, Gene Gurkoff. "Together we can help grow a movement in which millions of people walk with a cause in their heart, for a healthy, happy world, every day."
